The platelets are drifting with the blood flowing in a streamline flow through a horizontal artery as shown below Artery is contracted in region $II$. Choose the correct statement.
  • A
    As the platelets enter a constriction, the platelets get squeesed closer together in the narrow region and hence the fluid pressure must rise there
  • B
    As the platelets enter a constriction, pressure is lower there
  • C
    The artery's cross-section area is smaller in the constriction and thus the pressure must be larger there because pressure equals the force divided by area
  • D
    Pressure is same in all the parts of the artery
