Solution

The correct options are
B

Pressure is directly proportional to force applied.

Pressure is inversely proportional to the area.


Pressure is defined as the force acting on a unit area. This means that pressure is directly proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to the area. As force increases, pressure increases. As area increases, pressure decreases.
