The upthrust acting on a fully submerged body depends on:
Unit-5 Pressure and Deformation in Solids
A the volume of the body and the density of the liquid
B only the weight of the body
C only the shape of the body
D the colour of the body
Explanation

Upthrust = V rho g, so it depends on the submerged volume and the liquid's density.
