Distance fallen equals 1/2 g t^2, where g is 9.8 m/s per second and t is time of fall in seconds. This relationship is b) Quadratic.

Don't understand what you mean by "relationship between the fallen".
If you mean falling speed, the answer is a, linear
If you mean distance of the fall, the answer is c, exonential.

c) Exponential
Gravity, times the mass ='s The Exponential expansion of time and space.
Like the Matter between my ears.
The theory was busted about The Empire State Building Penny toss theory, presumably if you droped a penny off the Empire state building it would be like being hit by a huge boulder... in a recent episode of myth Busters that Myth Was "Busted" as a result of Extensive testing coorlating the exponential descent of a penny as the falling object.
Hense the answer is c!
