A retaining wall supports a backfill of 6 meters high, which is 10 degrees with an angle of overload. Behind the wall is a vertical bend of 5 degrees positive batter angle. If the angle of wall friction is 7 degrees, then the resultant active earth pressure will work at a distance of 2 meters above the base and it will look at the angle of the horizontal angle
A. 7 degrees
B. 10 degrees
C. 12 degrees
D. 17 degrees
