Which dependence on layer depth does the thermal wind have?
Answer: C
Integrating the hydrostatic relation gives a factor of the natural logarithm of the ratio of the bounding pressures, so the accumulated wind change depends on that logarithm. In geometric terms this is close to linear over a shallow layer but departs over a deep one because density falls with height. The relation does give a shear per unit pressure, but the question concerns the accumulated change across the layer. Framing the question as which quantity the change acts upon makes the answer follow without calculation.
