Answer:

Neutral

Step-by-step explanation:

The buoyant force balances the force of gravity when the average density of an object is equal to the density of the fluid in which it is immersed, resulting in the object sinking (if its density is greater than the density of the fluid) or rising (if it is less). Neutral buoyancy occurs when the average density of an object equals the density of the fluid in which it is immersed. There is no sinking or rising for an object with neutral buoyancy.
