Solution

The correct option is D Both B and C
When an object is placed in a fluid(liquid or gas), the difference in pressure acting on the top and bottom surface results in an upwards force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. This force is called buoyant force.

Hence both liquid and gases exert buoyant force.
