C)Resistance during forced immersion of a foam object (such as a dumb-bell)
D)A decrease in compression forces through the spine

Immersion in water does result in a shift of blood and other fluids from the legs up to the chest; however, this response is due to the property of hydrostatic pressure, not buoyancy. Buoyancy is also chiefly responsible for decreasing the weight or compression through the spine and lower extremities and for increasing the difficulty for participants to immerse anything buoyant, for instance a foam barbell.
