Solution

The correct option is C $p_{1} < p_{2}$
Pressure at a certain depth in river water in $p_{1}$ and at the same depth in sea water is $p_{2}$ . Then (Density of sea water is greater than that of river water) $p_{1} < p_{2}$ This is because greater the density greater will be the pressure exerted by the fluid.
