Answer:
(c) always equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.
Explanation:
Archimedes principle (also called physical law of buoyancy) states that when an object is completely or partially immersed in a fluid (liquid, e.t.c), it experiences an upthrust (or buoyant force) whose magnitude is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by that object.
Therefore, from this principle the best option is C - always equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.
