When gravitation force and buoyancy force equal, then the body will be floating but in submerged condition. So B is correct.

Answer is B because if gravitational force is less than the upthrust of the liquid then only the body will float in liquid otherwise it will submerged in liquid.

B is the correct answer because the condition for anybody submerging is, the gravitational force is less than or equal to upward thrust.

The exact def of floating is.... move on or near the surface of a liquid without sinking... So For the given condition, it is necessary that the body would have some floating nature so that it wouldn't sink into the water... Meant that its gravity force must b smaller than buoyancy force... Option B is correct.

Gravitational force is less than the upthrust of the liquid.

B is the right answer because. When body flote that condition gravity force is less than the upthrust force.

Body will Float if Gravitational force < upthrust of liquid.
Body will Sink if Gravitational force > upthrust of liquid.
Body will Sink if Gravitational force > upthrust of liquid.
