The line of action of the buoyant force acts through the centroid of the A. submerged body B. volume of the floating body C. volume of the fluid vertically above the body D. displaced volume of the fluid

The correct answer is: D. displaced volume of the fluid.

The buoyant force is an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of a partially or fully immersed object. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid that is displaced by the object. The line of action of the buoyant force acts through the center of gravity of the displaced fluid.

Option A is incorrect because the buoyant force acts on the displaced volume of the fluid, not the
