    The answer is balsa wood

    Explanation:

    In order an object can float in a liquid, is necessary that its density be lower than the liquid in which it is.

    In this example, the liquid (gasoline) has a density of 0.66 g/ml and the all substances that we are studying have a density higher than gasoline, then, they are not goint to float but balsa wood which density is lower than gasoline.

    gasoline's density = 0.66 g/ml

    balsa wood's density = 0.16 g/ml
