I think the answer should be A because,
Intensity of pressure always acts at the centre of pressure.
And centre of pressure and centroid are coincide only in case of horizontal area.
Intensity of pressure always acts at the centre of pressure.
And centre of pressure and centroid are coincide only in case of horizontal area.

Here F= WAX.
Therefore irrespective of the angle it is correct for all.
Therefore irrespective of the angle it is correct for all.
