Best answer
The correct option is (c) By the use of Baffles

For explanation: Swirling is a hinderance in agitated vessels and can be prevented by using Baffles appropriately, along with the turbines according to the viscosity of the fluid. Reducing the power in the system will only result in reducing the amount of agitation and the lowering of the shaft will result in unequal distribution of the fluid currents.
