Answer:

C: Mass of body

Step-by-step explanation:

Upthrust is defined as the upward force that a liquid will exert on a body floating atop it.

Now, Formula for upthrust is;

Upthrust = density of liquid × volume of the body × acceleration due to gravity.

From the formula, we can see that upthrust depends on density, volume and acceleration due to gravity.

Thus, looking at the options, the one that doesn't apply is mass of body.
