    Option b.

    Explanation:

    Weight of skydiver = mass * acceleration due to gravity

    = 113 * 9.81 N

    = 1108.53 N

    Now,

    The weight is acting downwards and air resistance is acting upwards. So,

    Net force = weight - air resistance

    Net force = 1108.53 - 660

    Net force = 448.53

    Closest value is option b.
