the density of the liquid.
the mass of the liquid.

The buoyant force on an object fully submerged in a liquid depends on
the density of the liquid, and the density of the object. But the density
of the object depends on the object's volume and the object's mass.

So the only item on this list that it DOESN't depend on is the mass of
the liquid.

I guess that means that the buoyant force on a fully submerged object is
the same whether it's submerged in a cup of water or the Pacific Ocean.
