It is very difficult for an atom to accept a proton. It can only be done under very special circumstances. So A and C are both incorrect. I don't see how D is possible. The atom does lose 1 electron, but how it gets 21 is think air.
The answer is B which is exactly what happens.
It will sink because mass does not affect the physical properties of the object.
Complete Question
A person throws a pumpkin at a horizontal speed of 4.0 m/s off a cliff. The pumpkin travels 9.5m horizontally before it hits the ground. We can ignore air resistance.What is the pumpkin's vertical displacement during the throw? What is the pumpkin's vertical velocity when it hits the ground?
Answer:
The pumpkin's vertical displacement is 
The pumpkin's vertical velocity when it hits the ground is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The horizontal speed is 
The horizontal distance traveled is 
The horizontal distance traveled is mathematically represented as

Where t is the time taken
substituting values

=> 

Now the vertical displacement is mathematically represented as

now the vertical velocity before the throw is zero
So


Now the final vertical velocity is mathematically represented as

substituting values
