A $0.5\ kg$ mass of lead is submerged in a container filled to the brim with water and a block of wood floats on top. The lead mass is slowly lifted from the container by a thin wire and as it emerges into air the level of the water in the container drops a bit. The lead mass is now placed on the block of wood. As the lead is placed on the wood.

  • A

    Some water spills over the edge of the container.

  • B

    The water level rises exactly to the brim as before.

  • C

    The water level rises but does not reach the brim of the container

  • D

    There is not enough information provided to decide between the three options.
