Solution

The correct statement is: "Any change in applied pressure produces an equal change in pressure at all points within the fluid."

This principle is known as Pascal's Law. It states that any change in pressure applied at any point in a fluid is transmitted undiminished to all points in the fluid and acts in all directions. This principle is used in hydraulic systems.
