If a package is dropped from a tall building, and has a parachute attached to it

Question

If a package is dropped from a tall building, and has a parachute attached to it, it starts with a zero vertical velocity, then gets faster and faster until some limit then moves at constant speed after that. Why? Choose all the correct reasons.
A. The force by air resistance on the object will equal the weight force by the earth on the object
B. Different objects have different maximum speeds as they fall even if there is no air resistance
C. It will reach the speed of light before it hits the ground and nothing can go faster than light
D. The force by air resistance increases as the object speeds up
E. The force by air resistance decreases as the object speeds up
