Four different liquids are poured into identical measuring cylinders. The diagrams show the heights of the liquids and their densities. Which liquid exerts the LARGEST pressure on the base of its measuring cylinder?

  1. (A)Density: 2\text{ g cm}^{-3}, height: 10\text{ cm}
  2. (B)Density: 1.6\text{ g cm}^{-3}, height: 20\text{ cm}
  3. (C)Density: 1.2\text{ g cm}^{-3}, height: 30\text{ cm}
  4. (D)Density: 0.7\text{ g cm}^{-3}, height: 40\text{ cm}
