Right option is (d) Thur

The explanation: Due to uncontrolled seepage losses the water in the canal gets percolated and the water table level in underground rises. This level rises up to or near the ground level. This renders the land unfit for agriculture as the crop roots bring up the alkali salts to the ground level. This phenomenon is known as waterlogging and the land is called thur.
