The pressure increases by about 1 atmosphere (101,325 Pa) for every 10 meters of depth in water. Since the depth is 5 meters, the pressure increase is about 50,000 Pa (1/2 atmosphere). The total pressure is atmospheric pressure (101,325 Pa) plus the additional pressure due to depth, which is 50,000 Pa. Therefore, the total pressure is approximately 150,000 Pa. The answer is B.
