Solution

The correct option is A

Kept floating


The lungs of child starts working only after birth at that time the lung tissue are filled with air making it lighter and hence it floats on water. If the child was still born the lungs would have been heavier due to absence of air and would have settled down on the bottom. But it hasn't happened. So victim is father.
