If the spheres are have to have the same and the same size, it is expected that they will have the same surface area. The only factor that affects the descent of the object through gravity on Earth is the surface area that is exposed to the resistance of air. For this case, it is expected that they will reach the bottom of the inclined plane together. The answer is C.
