Detailed Solution

  • 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.
  • Buoyant force=ρ×V×g 
    Where ρ= denotes the density of the fluid, g denotes acceleration due to gravity, and V denotes the volume of the displaced liquid.

Therefore, 'Buoyant force' is the correct response.
