Easy code:
Stabe eq.--- M a G & B a G above.
Ustab eq --- M b G & B b G below.
Netrl eq --- MG & BG Coinside.
Stabe eq.--- M a G & B a G above.
Ustab eq --- M b G & B b G below.
Netrl eq --- MG & BG Coinside.

@Apoorva they asked for stable condition.
Answer 'A' is correct.
Answer 'A' is correct.

Answer should be true because at neutral condition, metacentre coincides with cg of body.

Metacentre is the point about which the body starts oscillating, and metacentric height is the difference between centre of gravity (cg) and metacentre.

Meta means changing, centre means point through which it rotates finally known as changing center. A body tilted about a point stability, neutrally, unstably is known as meta centric point.

For stable M greater than Cg.
Neutral equilibrium M=Cg.
Neutral equilibrium M=Cg.

For a stable equilibrium the metacentre should lie above the centre of gravity. For a neutral equilibrium the metacentre should coincide with centre of gravity.
