Detailed Solution

Let the initial temperature be 00C, density of body at 00C be ρb0and that of liquid at 00C be ρl0 Fraction of volume of body inside the liquid is 

f=ρb0ρl0

Let the temperature be increased by θ

f'=ρbρl=ρb01+γbθ1+γlθρl0=1+γlθ1+γbθρb0ρl0

If γl=γb (or γ=3α), then f'=f,  the solid does not sink (or) lift.    B-f

If γl>γb (or γ>3α), then f'>f,  the solid sinks more.      A-e

If γl<γb (or γ<3α), then f'<f, the solid lifts up.    C-d
