# Three identical reservoirs, \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\), are represented above, each with a small pipe where water exits horizontally. The pipes are set at the same height above a pool of water. The water in the reservoirs is kept at the levels shown. Which of the following correctly ranks the horizontal distances \( d \) that the streams of water travel before hitting the surface of the pool?

- **A.** \( d_A > d_B > d_C \)
- **B.** \( d_A = d_B = d_C \)
- **C.** \( (d_A = d_B) > d_C \)
- **D.** \( d_C > d_B > d_A \)
