The resultant of all normal pressures acts

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
The resultant of all normal pressures in a fluid acts at the center of pressure. The center of pressure is the point where the total force due to fluid pressure can be considered to act on a submerged surface. It is essential in the analysis of fluid forces on submerged surfaces.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: at center of pressure.
