Solution

The correct option is C Floating of a heavy ship
The floating of a heavy ship in water is due to buoyancy. Buoyancy is the force exerted on an object that is wholly or partly immersed in a fluid. At the same time, shooting of an air gun, tyres of a vehicle and syringe are the examples where compressed air is used.
