Velocity is maximum in the center of pipe and according to Bernoulli equation if velocity is maximum then pressure (stress is minimum) because pressure energy changes to kinetic energy.

Answer C is correct if and only if it is laminar flow but we give preference to laminar so c is correct tou= -dp/dx (r/2) r is the distance from the centre of the pipe.
