An anisotropic soil deposit has coefficient of permeability in vertical and horizontal directions as $k_{z}$ and $k_{x},$ respectively. For constructing a flow net, the horizontal dimension of the problem's geometry is transformed by a multiplying factor of
(A) $\sqrt{\frac{k_{z}}{k_{x}}}$
(B) $\sqrt{\frac{k_{x}}{k_{z}}}$
(C) $\frac{k_{x}}{k_{z}}$
(D) $\frac{k_{z}}{k_{x}}$
