• B. Liquid pressure increases with increasing depth.
• C. Liquid pressure decreases with increasing depth.
• D. Liquid pressure doesn’t depend on depth.

Although the liquid pressure is constant for the same level of a liquid, it increases with an increase in depth of the liquid. Liquid pressure decreases with a decrease in depth from free surface.
