When a body floating in a liquid, is displaced slightly, it oscillates about A. e.g. of body B. center of pressure C. center of buoyancy D. metacentre

e.g. of body
center of pressure
center of buoyancy
metacentre

The correct answer is D. metacentre.

The metacentre is a point in a floating object where the upward force of buoyancy and the downward force of gravity are in balance. When a floating object is displaced slightly, it will oscillate about the metacentre.

The center of buoyancy is the point where the upward force of buoyancy acts on a floating object. The center of pressure is the point where the downward force of gravity acts on a floating object. The e.g. of body is not a relevant concept in this context.
