A block of wood is floating on water at with volume above water. When the temperature of water increases from to the change in the volume of the block that is above water is best described schematically by the graph.








Options
- A

- B

- C

- D

Correct answer
A. 
Step-by-step solution
As temnerature of water is increased from to , density of water initially increases upto a maximum at and then it reduces.
So, buoyant force on block of wood also increases till temperature reaches and then decreases from to .
Hence, volume of block above water also increases upto and then decreases from to
Variation of versus as shown below.
