The correct answer is:
(i) $\mathrm{B}$ (ii) $\mathrm{D}$

Due to acceleration towards right, there will be a pseudo force in a left direction. So the pressure will be more on rear side (Points $A$ and $B$ ) in comparison with front side (Point $D$ and $C$ ).
Also due to height of liquid column pressure will be more at the bottom (points $B$ and C) in comparison with top (point $A$ and $D$ ).
So overall maximum pressure will be at point $B$ and minimum pressure will be at point D.
