as the pressure increase d viscosity also increases and vice vasa

For most liquid, viscosity increases with increasing pressure because the amount of free volume in the internal structure decreases due to compression there the molecules can move freely and the internal friction forces increase... Unless the pressure increase is significant, the viscosity doesn't change

why in 2006 physic my school is saying another answer

D is correct

The question didn't say extreme pressure. It is in reference to gradual increase.

While viscosity is usually unaffected by pressure, liquids subjected to high pressure often experience an increase in viscosity. Since liquids are usually incompressible, increasing the pressure does not bring the molecules closer together significantly.
