Answer:

All of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

I didn't think the 59 pounds per square inch was right, but literally two of the questions apply so "all of the above" is your best bet

Answer: all of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

The pressure increases as we go down into the ocean.

Thus pressure at 99 feet below the surface of ocean is greater than the pressure at sea level.

Also the pressure at 33 feet below the surface of ocean is greater than the pressure at 99 feet below the surface of ocean.

The weight of the atmosphere exerts a pressure of 14.7 pounds per square inch of force at sea level which is also equal to 1 atmosphere.At depth of 99 feet , the pressure exerted is 4 atm which is almost equal to 59 pounds per square inch.
