Solution

The correct option is A $27^{\circ} C$

Wood will start to sink in benzene when its density is just greater than benzene
so Temperature at which this will happen can be found out by equating their density at temperature $T$

$D = \frac{m a s s}{v o l u m e}$

$D = D_{O} (1 - γ Δ T)$

Equating densities at Temprature $T$
$8.8 \times 10^{2} (1 - 1.5 \times 10^{- 4} (T - 0)) = 9 \times 10^{2} \times (1 - 1.2 \times 10^{- 3} (T - 0))$

solving the above equation.
$T = {21.7}^{o} C$

Option $(B)$ is correct
