Solution

The correct option is C Remain half submerged
As the system will move with an acceleration, $a$ then $p s u e d o$ force
will cause $s a m e$ acceleration, $a$ to both the $w a t e r$ and $b l o c k$ so no extra force by the block will be applied to water so no more submerging.
So option C is correct.
