A) $20.01 \mathrm{in}$
B) $15.72 \mathrm{~m}$
C) $7.330 \mathrm{~m}$
D) $10.34 \mathrm{~m}$
E) $9.820 \mathrm{~m}$

The pressure exerted by a column of fluid is given by $ P = \rho g h $. Solving for $ h $, we have $ h = \frac{P}{\rho g} $. Substituting $ P = 1.013 \times 10^5 \, \mathrm{N/m^2} $, $ \rho = 1000 \, \mathrm{kg/m^3} $, and $ g = 9.81 \, \mathrm{m/s^2} $, we find $ h \approx 10.34 \, \mathrm{m} $.
