Answer:

3) higher in some places nd lower In other places

Step-by-step explanation:

The pressure in a fluid is given by the law

p = p0 + pgh

where

p0 is the atmospheric pressure

p is the fluid's density

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the depth at which the pressure is calculated

As we see, the pressure depends on the value of h (depth): therefore, points which are located at more depth experience a larger pressure than points located near the fluid's surface.
