                Only B is the right answer. Because, a body will sink, if Gravitational force > Upthrust force.

                The Correct answer is [A]. 
For the body to float or to stay in equilibrium over the liquid surface, Weight of the body(Gravitational force) must be equal to the Buoyant force(Upthrust of the liquid).

                Then what about when gravitational dice is equal to the upthrust force?
I think both A&B are correct!
