Detailed Solution

solution

As depicted, the disc is being acted upon by three forces:
weight mg of the metal disc upward at an angle with the vertical buoyancy force, and downward force caused by surface tension (T)
Equating all forces are equal,

mg=2πrTcosθ+W

Hence the correct answer is 2πrTcosθ+W
