B is the right answer. D for vertical component.

B is the right answer don't confuse.

B is absolutely right.

It is necessary to take components of forces in each direction is there any method to solve this.

Answer B is the right answer.

For a curved surface, the component of hydrostatic force in any horizontal direction is equal to the hydrostatic force on the projected plane surface on a vertical plane perpendicular to that direction and acts through the centre of pressure for the projected plane area. The vertical component of hydrostatic force on a submerged curved surface is equal to the weight of the liquid volume vertically above the submerged surface to the level of the free surface of liquid and acts through the centre of gravity of the liquid in that volume.

I think Option B is the correct answer.

B is the right one. I agree with it.

Yes B is correct. I agree.

B is the right answer.

Horizontal component force=pressure on projected area on the curved surface on the vertical plane = pr. * area = Weight retained by the liquid on the curved surface. Ans: D.
