Solution

The correct option is A Increases
Mathematical formula for pressure exerted by a liquid at a point inside it
P = hdg
where, h = height of the liquid column above the point
d = density of the liquid
g = acceleration due to gravity


Since the pressure at a point inside water is directly proportional to the depth of that point below the surface of water. So as we go deeper inside the water, the pressure increases.
