equal volumes of water is poured so the ht. attained in C is max. and so the pressure at the base is maximum ... Force is max as pressure * Area = Force ... area is same in all case ... C ..

C
Reasons the same as above
Extra Reason
The other flask sides will provide some normal force on the liquid reducing the pressure .
While the sides of C & B do not provide with this normal force
C being Narrow increases the pressure at the base
