Choose the correct option.

When a solid is partially or wholly immersed in a fluid it experiences an apparent loss in :

• According to Archimedes’ principle, when a body is immersed fully or partially in a liquid, it experiences an upward force that is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by it. 
• The upward force exerted by the liquid on the body is known as upthrust or buoyant force.
• The solid immersed in a fluid experiences apparent loss in weight due to this buoyant force.
• The apparent weight is given by W_apparent = W_actual- Upthrust. 

Therefore, 'Weight' is the correct response.
