  • Acompared to Y: pressure at X is higher; compared to Z: pressure at X is lower
  • Bcompared to Y: pressure at X is higher; compared to Z: pressure at X is the same
  • Ccompared to Y: pressure at X is the same; compared to Z: pressure at X is lower
  • Dcompared to Y: pressure at X is the same; compared to Z: pressure at X is the same
