Solution

The correct option is A Sea water
In sea water because the density of sea water is more than that of river water so his weight is balanced in sea water with his less part submerged inside it.
Since, the density of sea water is more, upthrust will be more in case of sea water and therefore it will easier for a man to swim in sea water as the upthrust would push him up.
