The correct option is (a) True

Easy explanation: The given velocity of flow of a channel and certain depth can carry in suspension, some amount of silt. But if the velocity is more and depth is not fully charged with silt it will erode the bed and sides of the channel. And if the velocity is less, the silt cannot be carried in suspension by the flow, hence it is dropped.
