For a large diameter pipe, horse power of pump will increase which will increase the cost.
Am I right?

I think it is a wrong answer. Larger diameter means higher power required to displace the fluid what results in a higher cost of pumping.

Large diameter means high power requirements and than high pumping cost.

Yes, actually when the fluid is passed through from the larger diameter pipe then their velocity will be decreased and achieve high velocity and pressure of the fluid high horse power motor should be need.

When you have large diameter, lowest pump cost is required because of higher flow rate.
