Solution

The correct option is C Buoyant force is equal to weight of liquid displaced
When a body is partly or completely immersed in water (or any other liquid), then according to archimedes principle.
Loss in weight of body = Weight of water (liquid) displaced by the body = Buoyant force or upthrust exerted by water (any liquid) on the body.
Hence, the relationship between buoyant force and the weight of liquid displaced is that they are equal.
