Which of these statements represents the advantage of rotary pumps as compared to reciprocating pumps?

Rotary pumps occupy only one-half the space of reciprocating pumps.
Rotary pumps are capable of pumping more fluid than reciprocating pumps of the same weight.
Rotary pumps eliminate discharge slippage of the pumped liquid, while this does not hold true for a reciprocating pump.
The high discharge pressure of the rotary pumps permits a larger volume of fluid per unit time than the reciprocating pump.
