B is correct, they not mentioned about total pressure in that case answer is C, but they gave answer D don't know how it proportional internal friction, but may be possible.

Lateral earth pressure means horizontal pressure. So it is Ka*H which is answer b. But if it was asked total earth pressure then answer would be C.

Lateral pressure =kwh where w=unit wt.
But force=.5kwh^2.
But force=.5kwh^2.
