Answer

i and ii are equal, and iii is less than the other two. (e) is the correct answer.

Work Step by Step

The volume does not affect the pressure exerted. The only factor is height, so, i and ii are the tallest, therefore the ones exerting the greater pressure. Since their heights are equal the pressure exerted is also equal.
