The principle of continuity states that the mass flow rate of an incompressible fluid remains constant along a pipe or duct. This means that the product of velocity and cross-sectional area at any point in the pipe or duct will be equal to the product of velocity and cross-sectional area at any other point, as long as the fluid is incompressible and there are no significant losses due to friction or other factors. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer.

According to the Principle of Continuity, the Velocity of a Fluid
