Solution

The correct option is D $h_{b} > h_{d} > h_{c} > h_{a}$
The liquid level is higher where the pressure is lower.
The pressure is lower where the flow speed is higher. ( Bernoulli's principle)
The flow speed is highest in the narrowest tube, zero in the open air.( Equation of continuity)
Hence $h_{b} > h_{d} > h_{c} > h_{a}$ .
