a

If car is accelerating with acceleration a, PA – PB = ρgL

b

If car is accelerating with acceleration a, PA – PB = 0

c

If car is moving with constant velocity, PA – PB = 0

d

Detailed Solution

When the car is moving with constant velocity, points on the same horizontal level will have the same pressure.So, PA – PB = 0.When the car moves with constant acceleration the pressure difference between those two points will be ρaL,as the pressure difference will be responsible for providing acceleration to the small fluid column of volume (L.dA) between points A & B(where dA is an area of small element that we think of).
