Solution

The correct option is D

Density


Buoyancy: The tendency of an object to float in a fluid based on its density.

Explanation for the correct option:

Option D:

  1. Clouds are made up of water droplets.
  2. This mixture which forms clouds has a very low density and high volume as compared to that of the air.
  3. Hence, they experience a buoyant force from the surrounding air.
  4. This balances their weights.
  5. Therefore, the clouds are able to float due to their low density.

Hence, option D is the correct option.
