Malia was able to make a paperclip float on the surface of water. What will most likely happen to the paperclip if a drop of dishwashing detergent is added near it?

A
Soap is a surfactant that increases the intermolecular forces of water allowing the paperclip to continue to float.
B
Soap makes the water less viscous making the paperclip sink.
C
Soap is a surfactant that disrupts the intermolecular forces of water making the paperclip sink.
D
Soap makes the water more viscous allowing the paperclip to continue to float.
