Solution

The correct option is B Bernoulli's principle
In old age arteries carrying blood when there in narrow arteries pressure is pressure difference thus created will provide increased. Actually due to narrowness andthe necessary centripetal force for the water other obstructionthe velocity ofthe flowbody to rotate around the vertical axis. of blood gets decreased. This results in increased pressure inside the blood vessel,This must be equal to the pressureofwateraccording to
BernouIli's principle.
