    C)  It equals to one fourth the density of water.  

    D)  It equals to three fourths the density of water.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Upthrust \[=\] weight of liquid displaced\[\frac{V}{4}\times {{\rho }_{water}}g=V{{\rho }_{wood}}g\]\[i.e.\] Density of wood is one fourth the density of water.
