A. Water has strong hydrogen bonds that result in it having strong surface tension allowing the paperclip to float.

C. The negative ions are attracted to the paper clip allowing it to float.
D. Water has weak hydrogen bonds that cause it to have poor surface tension allowing the paper clip to float.
