Answer:

The answer is option A

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out if the object sink or float in water we must first find the density of the object


density = (mass)/(volume) \\

From the question

mass of object = 2 g

volume = 4 mL

The density is


density = (2)/(4) = (1)/(2)

We have the answer as

0.5 g/mL

The object will float on water since it's density is less than that of water which is

1.0 g/mL

Hope this helps you
