                Answer A is correct.
Hydraulic gradient line lies over the centre line of the pipe means it is equal to the pressure head Z+Pressure head lies on center of the pipe line. Then it means that total pressure head lies on center of the pipe.
                Hydraulic gradient line lies over the centre line of the pipe means it is equal to the pressure head Z+Pressure head lies on center of the pipe line. Then it means that total pressure head lies on center of the pipe.

                Total energy line is the sum of HGL and velocity. Therefore it's the line which lies by the amount of pressure +velocity.
So option C is correct.
                So option C is correct.

                Velocity head is the difference between total energy line and hydraulic gradient line, not the center line.

                Potential Head + Piezometric Head is the HGL. None of the answers is correct. HCL is (EGL- velocity head).

                Agree, A is the correct answer because here it is asked from the center line of the pipe.

                Agree, it is dynamic head or velocity head.

                Pressure head is the right answer.
