2 life preservers have identical volumes; one is filled with styrofoam & the other is filled with lead.?

When the 2 life preservers are fully submerged, the one filled with lead sinks & the styrofoam one rises to the top because:
a)the buoyant force is greater on the styrofoam
b)the weight of the lead is greater than the buoyant force
c)the weight of the styrofoam is less than the buoyant force
d)the density of the lead is less than that of water
e)2 of the above

Wouldn't the answer to this be b & c or e)2 of the above?
