Great job! It is C! In spanish ( I know this is unrelated) depth is "profundidad".

Profundidad sounds a lot like profundity doesn't it?

Keep up the awesome work!

Actually, "profound" and "profundidad" probably come from the same Latin root. I'd have to look that up, but you can, too, by looking up the etymology of "profound".
