The principle of fluid pressure which is used in hydraulic brakes or lifts is that:
A)pressure is the same at all levels in a fluid
B)increases of pressure are transmitted equally to all parts of a fluid
C)the pressure at a point in a fluid is due to the weight of the fluid above it
D)increases of pressure can only be transmitted through fluids
E)the pressure at a given depth is proportional to the depth in the fluid
