Solution

The correct option is B

PA= PB= PC= PD= PE


The pressure at a given depth does not depend upon the shape of the vessel containing the liquid or the amount of liquid in the vessel. It only depends on the depth. In the given diagram, the pressure is same even though the containers have different amount of liquid in them and are of different shapes.
