D surface tension. That means since the water has such a sensitive tension and being that the paper clip is so light it would float on the top of the waters surface.

Answer:

D. Surface tension

Step-by-step explanation:

surface tension is how much weight something can be on the surface before it breaks... water has a surface tension less than the weight of the paper clip. making it able to float. the paper clip does not break the surface tension of the water
