Solution

The correct option is B beneath
Centre of gravity of the object is the point where the net gravitational force appears to act. This force acts in the vertically downward direction. If the body's center of gravity does not lie below the point of suspension, it causes a rotating effect such that the center of gravity comes below the line of suspension.
