B.

It has low effective stress and low shear strength

C.

It has effective stress and low shear strength

D.

It has high effective stress and high shear strength

Correct option is B


→ Marine deposits that are subjected to high water depth experience an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
→ Increase in pressure reducer the effective stress with in the deposits.
→ Effective stresses is the portion of total stress that contributes to the shear strength and deformation of soil.
→Higher water pressure reduces effective stress, leading to lower shear strength the in the marines deposits.
