Best answer
Correct choice is (a) above

The best I can explain: The compactive energy given to the soil is more in the Modified Proctor test than the Standard Proctor test due to the weight of the rammer and the height of the free fall. The Modified Proctor test curve of the water content – dry density curve lies above the SPT curve.
