Hydrostatic pressure increases with depth in a liquid

Steps:

• Identify that all beakers contain the same liquid, so density ρ is identical.
• Recall hydrostatic pressure formula: P = ρgh, where h is depth below the surface.
• Compare depths of points A, B, C, D across beakers.
• Select point with maximum h, as pressure is greatest there.

Why C is correct:

• Point C is at the deepest level, maximizing h in P = ρgh.

Why the others are wrong:

• A: Shallowest depth, so lowest pressure.
• B: Intermediate depth, less than C.
• D: Near surface, minimal h and pressure.

Final answer: C
