Solution

The correct option is B False
The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance.
An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in.
An object will sink if it is denser than the liquid it is placed in.
We know that density of water is $1 g / c m^{3} .$
A body of density $4.5 g / c m^{3}$ will not float on water because any object/body which has density more than $1 g / c m^{3}$ will sink in water.
Hence, this statement is False.
