A ball is made of a material of density $\rho$ where $\rho_{oil} < \rho < \rho_{water}$ with $\rho_{oil}$ and $\rho_{water}$ representing the densities of oil and water, respectively. The oil and water are immiscible. If the above ball is in equilibrium in a mixture of this oil and water, which of the following pictures represents its equilibrium position?
