Answer:

A) the pressure could crush the submarine

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The submarines are mainly used for defense purposes.
  • In world war 1 and 2 the submarines played a vital role in the war.
  • The submarines work according to the principle of buoyancy.
  • According to this principle, when seawater is filled inside the tank in a required amount, the submarines sink.
  • When the seawater is expelled, the submarine rises to above the sea.
  • Most of the time, it dives deep into the sea, the hydrostatic pressure should be taken into account.
  • If the hydrostatic pressure is not considered, the pressure could crush the submarine.
