I think the right answer is B. Because it depends upon the depth of soil.p=ka*γ*h.

C is the correct answer.

P=1/2ka γ h^2.
So, lateral earth pressure is directly proportional to the square of the depth of the soil.

Option c is right, because it asks about pressure, not pressure intensity.

It's correct.
Lateral earth pressure means horizontal earth pressure, which is proportional to phi in rest, active and also in the passive state both in Rankine's and Columb's theory.
@Rest=1-sin π.
@active=1-sinπ/1+sinπ,
And @passive = 1+sin&π/1-sinπ.
