Degree of consolidation is

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
The degree of consolidation in soil mechanics is a measure of how much a soil sample has consolidated over time due to applied pressure.

It is directly proportional to time because the consolidation process continues as time progresses.

It is inversely proportional to the square of the drainage path because longer drainage paths result in slower consolidation.

Therefore, Option B correctly describes the relationship between the degree of consolidation, time, and drainage path.
