2. Consider the flow of fluid in a boundary layer. Take a control volume which has a shape of a parallelopiped with dimensions (dx x dy x 1)
u = velocity of the fluid entering the control volume
v = velocity of the fluid leaving the control volume

Considering above condition, the equation

(∂u / ∂x) + (∂v / ∂y) = 0

is known as

a. continuity equation for incompressible, steady, two dimensional flow
b. continuity equation for compressible, steady, two dimensional flow
c. continuity equation for incompressible, unsteady, two dimensional flow
d. continuity equation for incompressible, steady, three dimensional flow
