For a constant hydraulic stress on an object,the fractional change in the object's volume $(\Delta V/V)$ and its bulk modulus $(B)$ are related as

  • A
    $\frac{\Delta V}{V} \propto B$
  • B
    $\frac{\Delta V}{V} \propto \frac{1}{B}$
  • C
    $\frac{\Delta V}{V} \propto B^2$
  • D
    $\frac{\Delta V}{V} \propto B^{-2}$
