Answer 1

Straightening a copper tube helps to improve the flow characteristics of fluids through the tube.
When the tube is straightened, it reduces bends, kinks, and obstructions that can impede fluid flow.
This can result in increased fluid pressure, especially in systems where fluid flow resistance needs to be minimized.
It helps to maintain or improve the pressure by ensuring smoother and more efficient fluid flow.
When a tube is straightened, it reduces obstacles that can impede flow, such as bends and kinks.
This reduction in obstructions minimizes pressure drops along the length of the tube, allowing the fluid to maintain its pressure more effectively as it flows through the system.

Here, option 1 is correct.
