For a constant hydraulic stress on an object, the fractional change in the object's volume $\left( {\frac{{\Delta V}}{V}} \right)$ and its bulk modulus $(B)$ are related as
  • A$\frac{{\Delta V}}{V} \propto B$
  • B$\frac{{\Delta V}}{V} \propto \frac{1}{B}$
  • C$\frac{{\Delta V}}{V} \propto {B^2}$
  • D$\frac{{\Delta v}}{v} \propto {B^{ - 2}}$
