Given answer is 100% correct because he is talking about center of area not about center of gravity, and we know that the center of the area doesn't depend on the material of the body.

The stability of an immersed body depends on the respective positions of the center of buoyancy (i.e., the centroid of the displaced volume) and the center of gravity, which do not always coincide. - An immersed body is stable if its center of gravity is aligned below the center of buoyancy (bottom-heavy body).

A is the correct answer. Here, It's an immersed body. For an immersed body, COB is the centre of the area of the body itself.

Incorrect is the correct answer because the centre of bouncy is the centre of displaced water by the body.

B should be the answer as centre of buoyancy is the centre of displaced liquid.

Incorrect is right answer because it is submerged body.

INCORRECT.
Because It should only be center of submerged area of rectangle & Circular. NOT FOR ALL.
Buoyancy is not a center of the area but CG of the submerged area.
