6. Why according to Bernoulli's principle, change in cross-section area of the pipe has no effect on total energy of the system?

a. when area of pipe increases upstream, kinetic energy of fluid decreases as velocity of fluid increases and potential energy increases

b. when area of pipe increases upstream, kinetic energy of fluid decreases as velocity of fluid decreases and potential energy increases

c. when area of pipe increases upstream, kinetic energy of the fluid increases as velocity of fluid decreases and potential energy decreases

d. when area of pipe increases upstream, kinetic energy of fluid increases as velocity of fluid increases and potential energy decreases
