$A$ streamlined body falls through air from a height $h$ on the surface of a liquid. If $d$ and $D$ $(D > d)$ represent the densities of the material of the body and the liquid respectively,then the time after which the body will be instantaneously at rest is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} \cdot \frac{D}{d}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} \cdot \frac{d}{D}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} \left( \frac{d}{D - d} \right)$
