Solution

The correct option is D
if the density of the liquid decreases.

The pressure at a point in a liquid depends on the following two factors:

1. The height of the liquid column.

Liquid pressure increases with the height of the liquid column above the point.

2. The density of the liquid.

Liquid pressure increases with the increase in density of the liquid.
