Solution

The correct option is C Equally
Answer is A.

As stated by Pascal's Principle, the pressure applied to a static fluid in a closed container is transmitted equally throughout the entire fluid. Taking advantage of this phenomenon, hydraulic presses are able to exert a large amount of force requiring a much smaller amount of input force.
Hence, Pressure applied to a fluid in a closed container is transmitted equally to every point of the fluid and to the walls of the container.
