Solution

The correct options are
A The density of the liquid
B The volume of the body submerged
Upthrust or buoyant force depends on the density of the fluid, as denser fluids exerts more upthrust. It also depends on the weight and volume of the body submerged in the liquid, i.e. the density of the body.
