Solution

The correct option is A depth below
Pressure inside a liquid at a point is the result of the weight of water overlying the concerned surface.
As we go deeper, volume of overlying water keeps increasing, thereby increasing the force. Therefore, the pressure at a point in a liquid increases with increase in its depth.
