Two objects labeled $K$ and $L$ have equal mass but densities $0.95D_o$ and $D_o$, respectively. Each of these objects floats after being thrown into a deep swimming pool. Which is true about the buoyant forces acting on these objects?

Question

Two objects labeled $K$ and $L$ have equal mass but densities $0.95D_o$ and $D_o$, respectively. Each of these objects floats after being thrown into a deep swimming pool. Which is true about the buoyant forces acting on these objects?(a) The buoyant force is greater on Object $K$ since it has a lower density and displaces more water.
, (b) The buoyant force is greater on Object $K$ since it has lower density and lower density objects always float &#8220;higher&#8221; in the fluid.
, (c) The buoyant force is greater on Object $L$ since it is denser than $K$ and therefore &#8220;heavier.&#8221;
, (d) The buoyant forces are equal on the objects since they have equal mass.
