Pressure at depth h in liquid column under atmospheric pressure P₀:

AP₀
BP₀ × ρ
CP₀ + ρ g h (absolute pressure)
Dρ g h
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. P₀ + ρ g h (absolute pressure)
Absolute pressure = P₀ + ρgh. Gauge pressure = ρgh (excess over atmosphere). **Diver at 30 m:** ≈ 4 atm absolute.
