What happens if we continuously increase the velocity after attaining the constant pressure drop?

(a) Remains constant

(b) Pressure drop decreases to zero

(c) Slight reduction in pressure drop

(d) Slight increase in pressure drop

The question was asked by my college director while I was bunking the class.

My doubt is from Pressure Drop in Fluidized Beds in chapter Fluidization and Mapping of Regimes of Fluidization Engineering

Correct answer is (b) Pressure drop decreases to zero

The explanation is: Increasing velocity further makes the particles lift off completely and hence the pressure drop reduces completely to zero.
