C Correct answer
Explanation

Venus has an extremely dense atmosphere with surface pressure approximately 92 times that of Earth's atmospheric pressure at sea level. This immense pressure is due to Venus's thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide, which creates a crushing weight at the surface. The pressure is equivalent to being about 900 meters deep in Earth's ocean.
