    The pressure of the water on the diver is given in an expression written as:

    p=15+15/33d

    where p is the pressure and d is the distance of the diver below the surface.

    The pressure is calculated as follows:

    p=15+15/33 (100) = 15.00 pounds per square feet

    Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
