Given below are two statements:
Statement I : Pressure in a reservoir of water is same at all points at the same level of water.
Statement II : The pressure applied to enclosed water is transmitted in all directions equally.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• A. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
• C. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
