Solution

The correct option is D The body
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, liquid A has the least density among the given three liquids. But the body is still floating on the surface of liquid A so, the body density is lesser than Liquid A. So, Aomg all four entities given (Three liquids and the body), the body has the least density.
