    Answer:The Taller one

    Explanation: Air drag (friction) also known as air resistance, the opposing force acting against the force of gravity, if a falling Object have a high air drag it will mean the object have a high air resistance. The higher the air resistance the higher the impact of the force of gravity on an object. The force of gravity will act to want to overcome the opposing force in order to bring the Object or the taller person down.
