Laurel Hooper · Answer 1

It's most likely less dense than the water

Trenton Dickson · Answer 2

D. Less dense than water. Cork has a density of 0.24g/cm³. Water has a density of about 1g/cm³.

Another example: Ice floats in water because the density of ice is less than the density of water (1g/cm³). Ice has a density of 0.92 g/cm³.
