I think B is the right answer.

The Correct option is C.
Because P = 0.5 * kwh^2 , so there is no relation with the internal friction.
Because P = 0.5 * kwh^2 , so there is no relation with the internal friction.

@Harpreet Singh,
P = 0.5 kwh^2, in this formula P, is lateral pressure force per running meter length of the wall, lateral pressure is proportional to depth and angle of internal friction as well.

Lateral Pressure proportional to depth. If it is lateral Pressure force it is proportional to Square of depth.

There are two things one is pressure intensity and the other is total pressure. Intensity is proportional to the depth of soil and the total pressure is proportional to the square depth of soil.

I think the option B is also the correct one.
Lateral Earth pressure p = k * w * z.
Lateral Earth pressure p = k * w * z.

But ranking theory not considered friction.
Only Coulomb theory considered friction.
So how can say that [D] answer right?

The lateral earth pressure act at h/3 from toe of the wall, and which is p = 0.5*kh^2* unit weight. So answer is C.
