Answer:

D)Water molecules near the surface produce more buoyant force than water molecules within the liquid.

Explanation:

Buoyant force that is provided by water molecules such that the object can float on the surface of the water. According to Archimedes principle for flotation to occur the buoyant force must be equal to the weight of the object.  If the buoyant force is less than the weight of the object, then the object will sink.

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:
