Solution

The correct option is A
Density of liquid

According to Archimedes principle, the magnitude of upward force (buoyant force) depends on the weight of liquid displaced. So, if the same body is submerged in two different liquids one after another, the weight of liquid displaced will depend on the density of the liquid.
