The pressure in an upright bottle of water, resting on a table, is
A. highest near the bottom, because the water there must support the weight of the water above it.
B. highest near the top, because that's the water that leaves the bottle first.
C. the same throughout (not zero), because the water would accelerate if it were subjected to a pressure imbalance.
D. zero, because water accelerates whenever it's subjected to pressure.
