Best answer
Right choice is (b) Cylinder machine

The explanation is: Cylinder machines are used to produce heavy multi-ply boards. They produce a sheet that is much stronger in the direction of flow than that produced on Fourdrinier machines. A cylinder covered with a wire cloth is rotated partially submerged in a stock suspension. Because of a vacuum applied inside the cylinder, water drains inward through the wire cloth, and the paper web is formed on the outside. The web is picked up by a felt, which is pressed onto the top of the cylinder by a rubber roll. A series of vats provide individual plies of fiber which are subsequently matted together.
