    The answer is A. 1 atm.

    Solution:

    Pressure in terms of height can be calculated using the formula:

    P = pgh

    where: p = density (kg/m^3); g = gravitational constant (m/s^2); h = height (m)

    Using SI units: P = 1000 (kg/m^3) * 9.81 (m/s^2) * 10 (m) = 98,100 Pascals

    Convert Pascals to atm:

    98,100 Pa (1 atm/101325 Pa) = 0.968 atm = rounded up to 1 atm
