B
That if the dive was increased by 1 second, the depth would increase by about .35 feet.
C
That if the dive was increased by .15 seconds, the depth would increase by about 1 foot.
D
That if the dive was increased by 35 seconds, the depth would increase by about 1 foot.

Answer 1

B That if the dive was increased by 1 second, the depth would increase by about .35 feet.
