    Let's clarify:

    Mass velocity
    𝐺
    =
    𝜌
    ×
    𝑉
    G=ρ×V (density × velocity).

    In steady flow through a constant cross-section, velocity
    𝑉
    V is constant.

    Density
    𝜌
    ρ depends on pressure and temperature, especially for gases.

    So mass velocity depends on both pressure and temperature.

    Thus, mass velocity is not independent of temperature or pressure.

    Correct answer:
    D. Neither A nor B
