Solution

The correct options are
A Volume of the cork is 25 ml
C Cork is lighter than water
D Cork occupies space
On adding cork into beaker the level of water rises from 100 to 125 ml this shows that the volume of cork is 25 ml and it occupies space.

As the cork is floating over the water, so it is lighter than water. Hence, water is denser than cork.

Hence, option A, B and C are correct.
