Solution

The correct option is D 26 feet below the surface of the lake
Let the initial position of the diver be 0. ​
Descend of 20 feet =20
Rise of 12 feet =+12
Descend of 18 feet =18
Therefore, final position of the diver =20+1218=26 feet ​
Hence, the man is now at 26 feet below the surface of the lake.​
