Solution

The correct option is A Liquid A
If a body floats in liquids of different densities, then the fraction of its volume submerged in each of the liquids is different. The lesser the density of the liquid, the more is the portion of the body that floats on the surface and vice-versa. Therefore, the liquid A has the least density among the given three.
