Right answer is (a) strengthening of canal banks

Easiest explanation: Internal silting method is adopted only when new canals are constructed as the section has to be sufficiently wide. In the external silting method, subsidiary banks are constructed to hold the water externally in a confined position. Both of these are methods of strengthening of canal banks.
