Solution

The correct option is B F2>F1.
F2 will be more than F1 i.e. upthrust from the sea water will be more than the upthrust from the river water.
This is because density of sea water is more than that of river water, and upthrust is directly proportional to the density. More the density, greater is the upthrust.
