Debating with physics teacher.

On a recent quiz I got the following question incorrect and after debating it with my teacher he would not budge.
The question is as follows: A heavy rock and a light rock of the same size are falling through the air from a tall building. The one that encounters the greatest air resistance is the
A) light rock
B) heavy rock
C) same for both




After doing some research I still stand behind my answer of C) same for both. The teachers answer was A) light rock.
I have found explanations for both equal and heavy but am baffled as to how the answer could be the light rock.
What are your opinions or thoughts?
