← HistoryWithin Mughal garden design, which mechanism maintains consistent water pressure between terraces?
A)Hydrostatic head and interconnected pools✓
B)Archimedes screw water lifting
C)Roman-style concrete water conduits
D)Complex wind-powered waterwheels

Hydrostatic head enables water to flow downhill due to gravity and creates pressure that is uniform between pools because their elevations are linked to an upper reservoir; therefore pressure stays consistent rather than fluctuating from active pumping.
