Volume doesn't matter in this equation, as air will almost always float on water no matter the volume. So A and C are incorrect. The the object is more dense than water, it will sink because it has enough density to push through the water. But if it is less dense, then the water has enough force to hold it in place because the downward force of the object is less than the force of the water. The correct answer is D.

When any object is thrown in the pool then the object will float if it is less dense in water. Thus the correct answer is D.

What causes an object to float in water?

When the upward push of the water on an object balances the weight force on the object, it floats in the water. When placed an object in water,  with a density greater than water will result in a sink, while one with a density less than water will float in water.

So the objects who are having a density more than water will sink due to their weight and those that have less density then will be appearing floating.

Therefore, option D less dense than the water is appropriate.
