Solution

The correct option is A Only if the flow is compressible
According to the continuity equation, $ρ A V = constant$ , where $ρ = density$ , A = cross sectional area of flow , V = velocity of flow.
If $V = constant, ρ A = constant$ .
Thus a change is A will mean a change in $ρ$ . Hence the flow is possible only if the fluid is compressible.
