The correct answer is $\\boxed{\\text{B}}$.<\/p>\n
Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance. The reference substance is usually water, which has a density of 1 gram per cubic centimeter (g\/cm3).<\/p>\n
To calculate specific gravity, we can use the following formula:<\/p>\n
Specific gravity = $\\frac{\\text{Density of substance}}{\\text{Density of water}}$<\/p>\n
In this case, the density of the substance is 3 kg \/ 2.5 kg = 1.2 g\/cm3. Therefore, the specific gravity of the substance is 1.2.<\/p>\n
Option A is incorrect because the specific gravity of water is 1.<\/p>\n
Option C is incorrect because the specific gravity of a substance cannot be greater than 1.<\/p>\n
Option D is incorrect because the specific gravity of a substance cannot be less than 0.<\/p>\n
