Solution

The correct option is A To counterbalance the pressure in the sea
Deep sea divers suffer extreme liquid pressure while going deep inside the sea, as we know that liquid pressure increases with depth. This can be harmful to them if their inner body pressure cannot cope up the high liquid pressure in their surroundings. So, in order to counterbalance the high pressure in the sea, deep sea divers use specially designed suits.
