    The answer is d. water molecules near the surface produce more buoyant force than water molecules within the liquid

    The paperclip will float on the surface of the water because of the property of water known as surface tension. Surface tension is defined as the attraction on the water of like particles to one another. Water molecules on a surface undergoes cohesion or the sticking together of one molecule to another of the same material.
