Options:
A .  move backward
B .  move forward
C .  rise up
D .  remain unaffected
Answer: Option B

When the tanker is in motion, the water inside will also be in motion. When the tanker comes to an abrupt stop, the water's inertia of motion resists this sudden change in motion. As a result, the water will move forward, before eventually coming to rest.
