The Answer
If you picked the apple you are correct.
An apple contains tiny air spaces that make up around 25% of its volume which helps it float in water.
By comparison an orange can sink depending on whether its peel is intact while a banana is denser and may sink more easily.
So, did you guess the apple before the 30 seconds were over?
