pressure since it’s meaning is the weight and force being applied onto something.

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

I think it's pressure. Using the process of elimination, sediment is the matter that's on the bottom of a liquid or solution, deposition is the process of deposing, eruption is the process of erupting, and pressure's formula is force/area, so pressure is the answer.
