Solution

The correct option is B direction is only constant
In streamline flow, the motion of a particle after it passes a particular point is the same as the motion of the particle that preceded it at that point. The path that a particle takes is called a stream line. Every particle that passes any particular point will follow the stream line that goes through that point. A bundle of stream lines, like the ones here, is known as a stream tube. Fluid never crosses the surface of a stream tube.
