Option 2 : It is constant and is equal to the average velocity in the fully developed region

Explanation:

As the pipe is of uniform diameter and the flow is steady incompressible, therefore the discharge remains constant at every section. As the diameter is constant, the avg. velocity is constant everywhere as shown in figure.

Average Velocity = Flow rate/ Cross-section Area
