Answer is B
Archimedes' principle indicates that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. Because of this buoyancy a body is able to float or submerge over liquid surface.
