B Correct answer
Explanation

Saturn is the only planet in our solar system with an average density less than water (0.69 g/cm³ vs water's 1 g/cm³). This means if you could find a body of water large enough, Saturn would float on it. The planet is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium gases, making it extremely light relative to its size. Jupiter also has low density but still greater than water.
