$A$ uniform meter scale is supported at its $20 \ cm$ mark. $A$ body suspended from the $10 \ cm$ mark keeps the scale horizontal. However,the scale becomes unbalanced if the body is completely immersed in water. To regain the balance,the body is shifted to the $8 \ cm$ mark. Therefore,the specific gravity of the material of the body is

  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $7$
  • D
    $4$
