B Correct answer
Explanation

Hydrostatic bearings use an external pressure source to create a fluid film, making them ideal for very heavy loads at slow speeds. Hydrodynamic bearings rely on relative motion and are better for higher speeds. Ball and roller bearings have load limitations compared to fluid film bearings.
