Solution

The correct option is A less
The density of a liquid determines whether it will float on or sink in another liquid.

A liquid will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in.

A liquid will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.

Oil floats when poured in a container containing water. Hence, oil has less mass density than water.
