# If the absolute pressure at a depth of \( 10 \) \( \text{m} \) in a lake is \( 2 \) \( \text{atm} \), what would the absolute pressure be at a depth of \( 20 \) \( \text{m} \) in the same lake? (Assume \( 1 \) \( \text{atm} \) is the surface pressure).

If the absolute pressure at a depth of \( 10 \) \( \text{m} \) in a lake is \( 2 \) \( \text{atm} \), what would the absolute pressure be at a depth of \( 20 \) \( \text{m} \) in the same lake? (Assume \( 1 \) \( \text{atm} \) is the surface pressure).

- **A.** \( 1.5 \) \( \text{atm} \)
- **B.** \( 3 \) \( \text{atm} \)
- **C.** \( 4 \) \( \text{atm} \)
- **D.** \( 2 \) \( \text{atm} \)
