Best answer

The correct answer is (a) Influence chart

Easiest explanation: The influence chart is used to find the vertical stress on Westergaard’s equation. Whereas, an isobar is a curve or contour connecting all points below the ground surface or ground level of equal vertical pressure. In an isobar, at each and every point the vertical pressure is the same.
