To answer this you need to know the density of Olive oil and the density of the plastic.

Olive oil has a density of between 0.8 - and 0.92 at standard room temperatures (you can look this up on the web).

Your plastic object has a volume of 4 times 2 times 3 = 24 cubic centimeters and weighs 19.2 grams.

One cubic centimeter of the plastic would therefore weigh 19.2 divided by 24 = 0.8 and this value is also its density (grams per cc).

Thus the answer is that the plastic would float on the dense type of Olive oil but would be neutrally buoyant in the less dense types.

As the olive tree grows it takes in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, and gives out oxygen. When olive oil is burnt it gives out the carbon dioxide that it took in, so overall there is no net movement of carbon dioxide. - This is why it is said to be carbon neutral.

"Carbon neutral" means generally that the activity adds no additional carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This is in comparison to the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which do add extra greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide which has been hidden underground for 300 million years).
