Which Why is degree of the following will give thedissociation used to estimate strength of an acid?

Here is a question which was given to me:

Problem

Which of the following will give strength of acid?
A

A) pH
  
B) Normality
  
C) Degree of Dissociation
dissociation
D) Dissociation Constantconstant

And the answer was given as: $C$ and $D$

Answer

C, D

Question

Now what I fail to understand is that, ifIf pH is not considered as a metric to assess the strength of an acid because it depends on dilution (even strong acids can have high pH), then why is Degreedegree of Dissociationdissociation a reliable metric for the same? Doesn't degree to dissociation depend on dilution aswell !as well?
