### Problem 2.6.43

The pressure \( P \) in atmospheres (atm) at a depth \( d \) feet is given by the linear function below:
\[ P(d) = \frac{1}{33}d + 1 \]

#### Tasks:
**a. Find and interpret the intercepts of \( y = P(d) \).**

**b. Find \( P(0) \), \( P(10) \), \( P(99) \), and \( P(200) \).**

**c. Find the depth at which the pressure is 9 atmospheres.**

#### Explanation:

- **Task a:**
  - **Intercept Calculation and Interpretation:**
    - Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.

      1. **A.** The \( d \)-intercept is \(\boxed{\phantom{1}}\) and it means that the pressure is 0, when the depth is \(\boxed{\phantom{1}}\) feet. The \( y \)-intercept is \(\boxed{\phantom{1}}\) and it means that the pressure at sea level ( \( d = 0 \) ) is \(\boxed{\phantom{1}}\) atm.
      
      2. **B.** The \( d \)-intercept is \(\boxed{\phantom{1}}\) and it means that the pressure is 0, when the depth is \(\boxed{\phantom{1}}\) feet. There is no \( y \)-intercept because \( P \leq 0 \).

      3. **C.** There is no \( d \)-intercept because \( d \ge 0 \). The \( y \)-intercept is \(\boxed{\phantom{1}}\) and it means that the pressure at sea level ( \( d = 0 \) ) is \(\boxed{\phantom{1}}\) atm.
      
      4. **D.** There is no \( d \)-intercept because \( d \ge 0 \). There is no \( y \)-intercept because \( P \leq 0 \).

Please respond with your choice and fill in the blanks accordingly based on the linear function provided. This exercise helps understand how to interpret and calculate intercepts from a given linear equation describing a
