Refer to the drawing of a horizontal pipe elbow (top view) in an operating water system (see figure below).

Three separate differential pressure flow detectors are connected to taps A, B, C, and D as follows:

Assuming zero head loss in this section of pipe, how will the detectors be affected if tap D ruptures?
A. All detectors will fail low.
B. All detectors will fail high.
C. Two detectors will fail low and one will fail high.
D. Two detectors will fail high and one will fail low.
