Detailed Solution

Concept-  Pressure from a point acts in all directions; it has no specific direction.
The definition of pressure is force per unit area. When describing the influences on fluid behaviour, it is frequently more convenient to use pressure rather than force. The Pascal, which is a Newton per square metre, is the standard unit for pressure.
As a result, pressure is a scalar quantity rather than a vector quantity. It has magnitude but no sense of direction linked with it. At a point inside, pressure applies in all directions.
As a result, the statement is false.
Hence, the correct answer is option (2).
