Solution

The correct option is D Weight of the displaced liquid < Weight of the body
A body sinks if its weight is more than the buoyant force acting on it. As the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced liquid, the body would sink if the weight of the displaced liquid is less than the weight of the body.
