Solution

The correct option is A 5 N
According to Archimedes' principle, when a body is partially or totally immersed in a liquid, it experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the liquid displaced. The weight of the displaced liquid is 5 N. Hence, the buoyant force on the body must also be equal to 5 N.
