Gold.
Gold has the highest specific gravity among wood, water, gold, and quartz. Gold has a specific gravity of around 19.3 g/cm3, making it much denser than the other materials listed. Wood has a specific gravity ranging from 0.3 to 1.0 g/cm3, water has a specific gravity of 1.0 g/cm3, and quartz has a specific gravity of around 2.65 g/cm3.
Specific gravity of quartz > 2.65; variable 2.59-2.63 in impure varieties.
Pieces of quartz free on the surface and not in the bed rock, as it has eroded from the a quartz vein and rolled and or washed to its current location.
The specific gravity of a substance is the ration of its density to some standard, almost always water for liquids or solids. In this case, Feldspar has a specific gravity of about 2.6.
The specific gravity of water is 1.0, so 1 gallon of water will have a specific gravity of 1.0 as well.
Gold has the highest specific gravity of the three materials listed. Wood has the lowest specific gravity, while quartz falls in between wood and gold in terms of specific gravity.

The specific gravity of chert quartz typically ranges from 2.5 to 2.7. This value indicates how dense the material is compared to the density of water. Chert quartz is a common rock composed mostly of silica, and its specific gravity helps in identifying and classifying the rock.
Oil has the highest specific gravity. Water has the second.
Light-colored sand is mostly quartz. The specific gravity of quartz is 2.65, but sand is porous. A good approximation is 1.6 for compacted sand where the interstitial volume is filled with air, rising to 1.9 when the sand is saturated with water.
Gold has the highest specific gravity out of the options given, as it is a dense metal. Styrofoam has a low specific gravity because it is lightweight and mostly made up of air. Water has a specific gravity of 1, while halite (rock salt) is more dense than water but less dense than gold.
THE MINERAL WITH THE HIGHEST SPECIFIC GRAVITY IS CALLED OSMIUM (Os) followed closely by Iridium. Most people think that Gold is the leading one. Thank you, Audax Kiwango, Mineral Engineer.

Mercury, it is Mercury which has highest specific gravity in liquids. Its SG is 13.56. It is the only known metal to exist in the liquid form. We however know that metals have high density. It means that mercury is 13.56 times denser than water.(as SG is with reference to water in liquids).
