Detailed Solution

Pressure is given by the perpendicular force exerted per unit area.
Pressure=ForceArea

Here, we can see that the pressure is inversely proportional to the area. That means the smaller the area, the higher the pressure. 
In the given options, we can see that a sharp knife is the sharpest object and has a very small area of contact with the object. Therefore, it will exert the highest pressure.
