Two solid spheres $A$ and $B$ of equal volumes but of different densities $d_A$ and $d_B$ are connected by a string. They are fully immersed in a fluid of density $d_F$. They get arranged into an equilibrium state as shown in the figure with a tension in the string. The arrangement is possible only if

$(A)$ $d_Ad_F$  $(B)$ $d_B > d_F$ $(C)$ $d_A>d_F$ $(D)$ $d_A+d_B=2 d_F$
