@Karan Panjabi.
Your formula is for total force not for pressure and formula for pressure is k * w * h.

lateral E.P = h^2.
The answer is C.
The answer is C.

It depends upon internal friction (because "ka" depends upon the angle of int friction) +it is proportional to square of depth, so both are right.

C is right because lateral pressure means here total pressure.

I think B is correct because the lateral pressure is depends on height or point of application of pressure on the retaining wall.

Lateral earth pressure is horizontal earth pressure.
We know k is lateral pressure/vertical pressure;
K= 1- sin(fi) /1+sin(fi)
Where fi is angle of internal friction.
Kwh is pressure intensity.
And o.5kwh2 is total pressure per metre length.
Hence lateral pressure proportional to the angle of internal friction.
