Answer :

Answer:

c) Much greater

Explanation:

It is because pressure=force/area

so pressure is directly proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to the area. As force increases, pressure increases. As area increases, pressure decreases. So area is less in the heel and force is converged on one point therefore it has much greater pressure than that of an elephant with one foot can exert on ground.
