Pascal s law or Pascal s principle states that "a change in the pressure of an enclosed incompressible fluid is conveyed undiminished to every part of the fluid and to the surfaces of its container."--- wiki

The three that jump out as correct are A automotive hydrolic jack, B trains' hydrolic brakes and
D a Bramah Press.
The others use fluid (water) but I'm not sure they exactly fit Pascal's principle.
