Solution

The correct option is A True
1--Buoyancy force/loss in weight/weight of the liquid displaced is $F = ρ_{w} \times g \times V .$
where The density of the fluid is $ρ_{w} .$
Acceleration due to gravity is $g = 9.81 m / s^{2}$
The volume of liquid displaced is $V .$
2-For a floating object the weight of the liquid displaced is equal to the weight of the floating object.
Hence, the given statement is true.

For a floating object, the buoyant force equals the object's weight.

What is the buoyant force acting on an object when it floats?

Is buoyant force or weight of the object greater when:

i) Object floats below surface of water,

ii)object floats below surface of water

An object of weight $P$ experiences a buoyant force $Q$ when floating in liquid. In this situation :

The buoyant force depends on volume of object immersed in liquid and density of the liquid.
if the buoyant force exceeds the weight of the object the object floats
Therefore if the volume of object is__________ and density of liquid is ______________ the object floats
