volume_mute
Correct Answer
The average density of the object is greater than the density of the fluid.
Explanation
If an object has a higher average density than the fluid, its total weight will exceed the maximum possible buoyant force it can experience when fully submerged, resulting in a net downward force that causes it to sink.
