The venturi effect demonstrates that as a fluid flows through a constriction:

Pressure increases and velocity decreases

Both pressure and velocity increase

Velocity increases and static pressure decreases

Correct

Both pressure and velocity decrease

Explanation

In a venturi, the constriction forces higher velocity (continuity), which results in lower static pressure (Bernoulli).
