- B. density of water is less than density of body
- C. density of water is equal to density of body
- D. the body is heavy
Answer
B. density of water is less than density of body
Step-by-step solution
A body sinks in a liquid if the buoyant force acting on it is less than its weight. This occurs when the density of the body is greater than the density of the liquid. Therefore, a body sinks in water when the density of water is less than the density of the body. Answer: density of water is less than density of body
