Solution

The correct options are
A

Gravitational force


B

Buoyant force


When an object is immersed in a fluid two forces act on it, gravitational force and buoyant force. Buoyant force is the upward force that acts on this object. It depends on the volume of the block and density of the fluid. Gravitational force is basically the weight W of the body, which acts vertically downward, through the center of gravity of the body.
