# An airtight container is completely filled with an ideal, incompressible fluid. If the external pressure on the container is increased by \( \Delta P \), how does the pressure change at a point located at the very bottom of the container?

An airtight container is completely filled with an ideal, incompressible fluid. If the external pressure on the container is increased by \( \Delta P \), how does the pressure change at a point located at the very bottom of the container?

- **A.** It increases by \( \Delta P + \rho g h \).
- **B.** It increases by less than \( \Delta P \) due to the fluid’s viscosity.
- **C.** It increases by exactly \( \Delta P \).
- **D.** It remains unchanged because the fluid is incompressible.
