Solution

The correct option is A All direction
Whenever, pressure is applied anywhere on a confined fluid, it is transmitted undiminished in all directions throughout the fluid.

This can be summarized in pascal’s law as “The external pressure exerted on a confined fluid at rest is transmitted unchanged and equally in all directions”.
