Why do siphons work effectively in hydraulic systems?

• Because the pressure is higher at the outlet port than at the inlet port.

• Because the pressure is lower at the outlet port than at the inlet port.

• Because the pressure is equal at both the outlet and inlet ports.

• Because no pressure is involved in the operation of siphons.
