Gerald is fishing. He uses a bobber that floats on the surface to show him if the line is being moved, and a lure that sits below the surface to attract fish.Which statement accurately describes the densities of these two items?

An object that floats at the water’s surface has a lower density than water, so the bobber is less dense than water. The lure sits below the surface rather than floating, which means it is more dense than water. Therefore, the correct choice is D: the bobber is less dense than water, and the lure is more dense than water.
