The correct answer is: FA
From Pascal's law, if pressure is increased at one point then it gets increased at all points in the entire liquid by the same amount. Therefore if an additional force F is applied at each piston, then pressure at each point and therefore also at the centre of the container increases by the same amount of FA.
