Answer:- High pressure and temperature.

Explanations:- Ductile character is less at low temperature and pressure. So, second and third choices are not correct.

Near the earth surface, rocks behave in brittle manner and so it is not the right choice.

Ductile character of rocks is more at high temperature and pressure.
