An object falling through a fluid is observed to have acceleration given by $a = g -bv$ where $g =$ gravitational acceleration and $b$ is constant. After a long time of release, it is observed to fall with constant speed. The value of constant speed is

  • A

    $\frac{g}{b}$

  • B

    $\frac{b}{g}$

  • C

    $bg$

  • D

    $b$
