In snapshot C, the parachute is fully open, and we can see that the air resistance force is larger than the weight force. This indicates that the person is slowing down due to the parachute's drag, and the parachute has reached its full open state. In all other snapshots, the parachute is either not fully open yet or is already slowing down the person.
