Answer:
A. Wax
Explanation:
Wax floats because it is less dense than the water.
This change allows the wax molecules to fit together more tightly, which increases their density and makes them heavier.

Your Solution:
(A) Wax
The density of wax is 960kg/m³ whereas of the water is 1000kg/m³. We know that if the density of a substance is less than the water then the substance will float and if the density of the substance is greater than that of water then the object will sink.
Here, Density of Wax < Density of water
960kg/m³ < 1000kg/m³
So, Wax will float on the water. and note it other options which has been given their densities are greater than the water which the substances will sink.
I hope you got it.
