A 13-newton object is placed in a container of fluid. If the fluid exerts a 60-newton buoyant (upward) force on the object, will the object ...

Even though you stopped copying before the list of choices, we can guess what will happen.

The forces on the object are 13 newtons downward and 60 newtons upward.

The NET force on the object is (60 - 13) = 47 newtons upward ... more than
3 times its weight.

The object will shoot up through the fluid, break the surface, and sail up into the air.

NOTE:
In order to "place" this object in a container of fluid, you have to push it down and hold it there.  If you just set it down on the fluid, it will settle part way down, until the buoyant force on it is 13 newtons, and it'll stop there and float.
