Correct option is (b) Tank Irrigation

The explanation is: In this system solid barrier, such as a dam or a storage weir is constructed across the river and water is stored. Volume of storage required depends upon requirements of crops, or hydroelectric power generation and flow of water in the river, unlike the other type of irrigation systems.
