Answer: A) Gradually decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

The convection value of heat transfer rate are gradually decreasing with the flow of the heat. Flow in a circular pipe, flow direction does not change in the velocity path. The average of the coefficient of heat transfer and the number of pipes are needed and the effects are get neglected so that is why the flow are fully developed.
