    Iron

    Explanation:

    The buoyant force equals to the weight of water being displaced by the object.

    Since, the volume of both iron and wood is equal and the wood is not completely submerged, but the iron block is completely submerged i. e more volume of the water is being displaced by the iron block.

    Hence, the buoyant force is more on the iron.
