The correct answer is: Area of the liquid surface
We know that
Pressure = hg( \(\rho \) )
Thus, pressure at bottom of tank is proportional to acceleration due to gravity \( \mathrm{g} \), density of liquid \( \rho \) and height of the
liquid \( \mathrm{h} \). The pressure is not proportional to the area of the liquid surface.
