Solution

The correct option is D independent
Independent.
Infact, the pressure exerted by a liquid is independent of the area of cross-section.
It depends on the depth of the vessel.
The more depth more is the pressure exerted. The pressure exerted increases with increase in depth.
Also the liquid exert equal pressure in all direction at a given depth.
