Item 41 refers to the following diagram. In the U-tube manometer shown above, the pressure at X is atmospheric pressure (p_A) and the liquid in the tube has a density of \rho. The pressure at Y is equal to the pressure, p, of the gas. The gas pressure p is equal to

  1. (A)p_A + h\rho g
  2. (B)p_A - h\rho g
  3. (C)h\rho g
  4. (D)p_A
