According to Archimedes' principle, the volume of the liquid displaced when the body is totally immersed in the liquid is equal to the volume of the body.

The volume of the body is equal to the volume of the immersed portion.

Thus, the volume of the liquid displaced is equal to the volume of the immersed portion of the body.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.
