Removing an attached clump

Larry's golf ball rolled to a position of rest directly behind a rather large divot clump that was not completely detached and projecting upward several inches directly in front of his ball. Of course Larry did the only natural thing and lifted the clump up and tossed it aside. His playing partners called a 2 stoke penalty. Larry protested. Who was right? What is the correct answer below?

A. Larry was in error. He can not remove the divot clump. He should have pressed it down with his foot and left it in place. One stroke penalty

B. The playing partners were wrong; the divot clump could be moved.

C. Larry was wrong, his partners were right, Larry may not remove the divot or press it down before playing his stroke. Two stroke penalty.

D. The partners were on the right track, a penalty should have been assessed, but only one stoke.
