Option A is absolutely correct.
Compressibility means av (coefficient of compressibility) "av" is propertional to "mv", "mv" is inversely proporitonal to "Cv", "Cv" is inversely proportional to "t".
So as av increase mv increase and so cv decreases leading to increase of t i.e consolidation time.

If soil compresses continuously then the consolidation process required to remove air from soil, therefore, consolidation time increase.
If soil doesn't compress then consolidation not required.
If soil doesn't compress then consolidation not required.

"av" is proportional to "mv", "mv" is inversely proporitonal to "Cv", "Cv" is inversely proportional to "t".
So, "t" increases with "av" increased.
So, "t" increases with "av" increased.

E is the correct answer.
t = CV * Tv/d'2.
Cv = k/Av * density.
t = CV * Tv/d'2.
Cv = k/Av * density.

I think Option A is not correct. Then how it would be D?

If you see the formula as mentioned above, E is correct.

All options are correct.
t = (Tv*d^2*Yw*av)/(k*(1+e)).
t = (Tv*d^2*Yw*av)/(k*(1+e)).

How option C and D are correct? Please explain.

Here, Cv = ((k) * (1+e0)/(Av * Yw)).
