Solution

The correct option is A The upthrust of liquid on the body.
when a body is weighed in liquid than bouyant force acts on it in upward direction and mg acts in downward direction so the weight of the body decreases .
hence decrease in weight of the body = bouyant force acting on it
so option (D) is correct
