• A) There is no effect of pressure on melting temperature.
• B) Within Earth's interior the pressure is decreased (compared to the surface), causing the melting temperature to increase (compared to the surface).
• C) Within Earth's interior the pressure is increased (compared to the surface), causing the melting temperature to decrease (compared to the surface).
• D) Within Earth's interior the pressure is increased (compared to the surface), causing the melting temperature to increase (compared to the surface).
