Solids exert pressure because gravity is pulling downward on the object. This pressure is exerted in all directions. On the other hand, liquids and gases also exert pressure, but they do not have a fixed shape like solids. The pressure exerted by liquids and gases is also in all directions. Therefore, all of the given choices are correct.
