(ii) The fluid level at Y will fall to compensates the loss of pressure in X.
(iii) The gas pressure at X will rise as O2 is given out by seeds and CO2 is released by potassium hydroxide solution.
(iv) The fluid level at Z will rise due to loss of pressure at X.

A (i), (ii) and (iv) only
B (ii), (iii) and (iv) only
