Least condensation pressure is required in:

A
Spherical amalgam alloy, high copper
B
Admixed amalgam alloy, high copper
C
Admixed amalgam alloy, low copper
D
Lathe cut alloy
High-Yield Explanation
A spherical amalgam contains small, round alloy particles that are mixed with mercury to form the mass that is placed into the tooth preparation. Because of the shape of the particles, the material is condensed into the tooth preparation with little condensation pressure. This advantage is combined with its high early strength to provide a material that is well suited for very large amalgam restorations, such as complex amalgams or foundations. Sturdevant ed 4 pg 654
