Answer
Turpentine
Reason — One of the factors affecting the upthrust is the density of the liquid in which the body is submerged. Lesser the density of the liquid, lesser is the upthrust experienced by a body. As amongst the given options turpentine has the least density, hence minimum upthrust will be offered by turpentine.
