Solution

The correct option is C
its relative density $\times$ density of water

The relative density of a substance is the ratio of the density of the substance to the density of water at 4 $°$ C.
Relative density is also called specific gravity.
$R e l a t i v e D e n s i t y = \frac{D e n s i t y o f a s u b s \tan c e}{D e n s i t y o f w a t e r}$
Hence, $D e n s i t y o f a s u b s \tan c e = i t s r e l a t i v e d e n s i t y \times d e n s i t y o f w a t e r$ .
Hence, option C is correct.
