I guess that siphon fails to work if the level of the two containers are at same level. Because, when both the containers are at same level the liquid in both containers stop sending the liquid from each other.

Siphon action is mainly due to atmospheric pressure in a reservoir through inverted U tube(liquid upfill). So when both the reservoirs at the same liquid length siphon action fails due to equal atm pressure.

What is siphon precisely?

A siphon is a tube or conduit bent into legs of unequal length, for use in drawing a liquid from one container into another on a lower level by placing the shorter leg into the container above and the longer leg into the one below, the liquid being forced up the shorter leg and into the longer one by the pressure of the atmosphere.

A siphon is a bent tube generally used to draw off liquid from one container to another container, which must at lower level. Thus the answer is B.

If two limb of siphon have equal height of water then the atmospheric pressure equal on both limb of siphon hence water will be not flows from one side to another.
