Correct option is (a) conservation of mass

To explain I would say: According to the Continuity Equation, if no fluid is added or removed from the pipe in any length then the mass passing across different sections shall be the same. This is in accordance with the principle of conservation of mass which states that matter can neither be created nor be destroyed.
