Come on! Just do some research. "Pumice has an average porosity of 90%, and initially floats on water." So A is true. The question asks "Which of the following is NOT true about pumice?" So A can't be it. "Because this rock is so light, it is used quite often as a decorative landscape stone." So B is true too... "Ground to a powder, it is used as an abrasive in polish compounds and in Lava soap." It's also used in some makeup products to exfoliate the skin. So D is true too.
