Flooding can also trigger damage due to hydrostatic forces. Identify the correct statements regarding the principles of hydrostatic forces: (i) The deeper the water, the more it weighs and the greater the hydrostatic pressure. (ii) It exerts the same amount of pressure sideways (lateral pressure) as it does downwards at a given depth. (iii) As water gets deeper, it exerts more lateral pressure than shallow water. (iv) It causes damage due to floatation or buoyancy forces. Choose the correct answer using the codes given below:
