Is pressure on thea dam calculated by F/A or Depth*density*9.8depth×density×$g$?

I had a question on a test where a dam was divided into two unequal parts and the question was about the pressure and force.enter image description here

I supposed that the area of the water in the X section is higher hence the pressure must be lower,but but the actual answer is A.Why Why is that?
