Answer:

Explanation: Air resistance is insignificant for heavy objects precisely because it doesn't depend on the mass. This is because a force is just an interaction that tries to change the momentum of an object, and the momentum depends on the mass; the larger the mass, the larger the momentum, and the more force you need to change it.
