# An object is lowered into a container of water. As the object is submerged deeper into the water (without touching the bottom), what happens to the buoyant force exerted on it?

An object is lowered into a container of water. As the object is submerged deeper into the water (without touching the bottom), what happens to the buoyant force exerted on it?

- **A.** The buoyant force remains constant once the object is fully submerged.
- **B.** The buoyant force increases because the pressure at the bottom of the object increases.
- **C.** The buoyant force decreases because the water becomes more compressed at greater depths.
- **D.** The buoyant force increases because the density of the object effectively decreases.
