Solution

The correct option is C Archimede's uplift
Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force acting on a body is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by it.
Since the weight of a body is a gravitational effect, the Archimedes' uplift decreases with reduction in gravitational effect.
