    In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate. Meaning that the 100 kg ball will fall at the same speed as the 10 kg ball. Assuming that both objects share the same starting acceleration, they will keep that acceleration until the fall is stopped.

    In other words, your answer is the first one, Both objects will accelerate at 9.8 m/s
