Solution

When an object floats in water, it experiences a buoyant force. The buoyant force is the upward force exerted by a fluid on an object immersed in it. According to Archimedes' principle, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

So, the correct answer is option a) Buoyant force equal to its weight.
