The correct option is (c).
Explanation:
The density of Ebony wood is . The density of water is . It can be seen that the density of Ebony wood is more than that of water. The floating and sinking of an object in water depends on its density. If it is more dense than water, it will sink and if it is less dense than water, it will float.
So, using the above concept, it is clear that it would sink in water because it has a greater density than water. Hence, the correct option is (c).
