Detailed Solution

The amount of liquid the body displaces is the single factor affecting the buoyant force pressing on it.
The volume of liquid displaced will not change as the solid is pushed deeper, so the buoyant force (the force the liquid exerts on the solid) will also not change. Therefore, A is incorrect.
The buoyant force that a liquid applies to a solid when its orientation is altered will not vary since the volume of liquid being displaced won't change. B is hence incorrect.
It's partial removal from the liquid will result in a smaller amount of liquid being displaced, which will affect the buoyant force that the liquid exerts on the solid (decrease). C is correct.
In opposition to gravity, the buoyant force constantly moves in an upward direction. D is also correct, so.

Hence the correct answer is c and d are correct.
