Detailed Solution

When the density of the liquid is greater than that of an object, the buoyant force acting on the object is greater than the weight of the object as a result, the object floats on the liquid.
When the density of the liquid is smaller than that of an object, the buoyant force acting on the object is smaller than the weight of the object as a result, the object sinks into the liquid.
We can see that the density of the object is greater than only liquid A. Therefore, it will sink into liquid A.

Therefore, 'Liquid A' is the correct response.
