Solution

The correct option is C Both the statements are correct.
Liquid pressure is the result of the weight of all the liquid above. As we go deeper, more the weight of liquid is acting . That is why liquid pressure increases with depth.

We know mass of an object depends on density. So, more the density more the mass for a given volume. So density and depth have direct relation with liquid pressure.
