A block of volume $V$ and of density $\sigma _b$ is placed in liquid of density $\sigma _l(\sigma _l > \sigma _b)$ , then block is moved upward upto a height $h$ and it is still in liquid. The increase in gravitational potential energy of the system is

  • A

    ${\sigma _b}Vgh$

  • B

    $\left( {{\sigma _b} + {\sigma _l}} \right)Vgh$

  • C

    $\left( {{\sigma _b} - {\sigma _l}} \right)Vgh$

  • D

    none of these
