Solution

The correct option is A will increase
Buoyancy Force (B) = ρ V g Where, ρ = Density of Fluid,
Pure water has its highest density of 1000 kg/m3 (1.940 slugs/ft3) at temperature 4°C (39.2°F). and density increases with temprature till 4 degree and then it decreases.
So, The buoyant force on the block by water will increase.
Answer (A) will increase
