    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    So, in a compressor, first additional kinetic energy is imparted to the fluid with the help of a rotating impeller. ... So like this, pressure of a fluid is increased in a centrifugal compressor. So basically it works on the principle of conversation of kinetic energy into pressure energy.
