$A$ block of volume $V$ and density $\sigma_b$ is placed in a liquid of density $\sigma_l$ (where $\sigma_l > \sigma_b$). If the block is moved upward by a height $h$ while remaining completely submerged in the liquid,what is the increase in the gravitational potential energy of the system?

  • A
    $\sigma_b Vgh$
  • B
    $(\sigma_b + \sigma_l) Vgh$
  • C
    $(\sigma_b - \sigma_l) Vgh$
  • D
    None of these
