Solution

The correct option is D The shape of the container.
Pressure at a point inside the liquid $(P) = h d g$
Hence, it depends on the depth of the point below the surface of the liquid the acceleration due to gravity at that point and on the nature of the liquid but not on the shape of the containing liquid.
