Best answer

Correct option is (a) time factor Tv and degree of consolidation U

To elaborate: The coefficient of consolidation can be determined by comparing characteristics of the theoretical relationship between time factor Tv and degree of consolidation U to the relationship between the elapsed time and degree of consolidation of specimen as obtained in the laboratory.
