Which of the following has the highest specific gravity?
A) quartz
B) water
C) gold
D) wood

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gold has the highest specific gravity among the options listed. Specific gravity is a measure of density relative to the density of a reference substance; typically, water for liquids and solids. Gold's specific gravity is approximately 19.3, which is much higher than that of quartz (around 2.65), water (1, by definition), and wood (which varies but is typically less than 1).
