When a liquid in a piping network encounters an abrupt flow restriction (such as a closing valve),

Question:

When a liquid in a piping network encounters an abrupt flow restriction (such as a closing valve), it is locally compressed.

This is known as

(a) Condensation 

(b) Cavitation 

(c) Water hammer

(d) Compression 

(e) Water arrest
