Explanation

In hydrodynamic bearings, the pressure within the oil film arises exclusively from the rotation of the journal, which drags the lubricant into a wedge-shaped gap, generating a pressure that supports the load. Options suggesting external pressurized oil supply, absence of lubricant supply, or grease lubrication do not describe hydrodynamic bearings accurately.
