Solution

The correct option is D

Both B and C


Due to atmospheric pressure, the ink gets sucked up in the fountain pen. Also, air pressure helps in drinking with a straw, you swallow some of the air from the straw which makes the pressure of the air inside the straw less than the pressure of the air outside acting on the liquid. So, the outside air pushes the water into the straw. Sea divers wear special suits is a consequence of liquid pressure. The pressure exerted by water in the oceans increases with depth. Very deep down, the pressure is enough to crush the human body. For this reason, the divers wear special suits, which can withstand such high pressure and prevent their bodies from crushing due to pressure.
