Solution

The correct option is C a shift of the equilibrium in the forward direction
The volume of liquid water at freezing temperature is lower than the volume of ice. When pressure is increased, more ice will melt to form liquid water. The increase of pressure on $i c e ⇌ w a t e r$ system at constant temperature will lead to a shift of the equilibrium in the forward direction as the volume is less in the forward direction.
i.e. $P \propto \frac{1}{V}$
