The answer is: A - the gasoline would float on top of the water.

Explanation:

Due to the difference in density of water and fuel, mixing cannot occur. As soon as gasoline is added to water, it will remain on top because water is denser than fuel.

You would get the same effect if you mix oil and water together.
