Answer:

Option B, 18.11 \frac{N}{cm^{2}}

Explanation:

Given-

The average surface area of one foot pad of an elephant is 2920 cm^{2}\\

Weight of an Asian elephant is 52900 newton

As we know, pressure is equal to total weight divided by total area of the surface on which it is concentrated.

Thus, pressure on one foot  pad of elephant is \frac{52900}{2920} \frac{N}{cm^{2}} \\

= 18.11\frac{N}{cm^{2}}

Hence, option B is correct answer
