Correct option is (b) Brick Lining

To explain I would say: Brick Lining is very popular in India due to bricks can be laid by ordinary masons, rigid quality control is not needed, expansion joints are not needed, huge employment is provided, isolated damaged parts can be easily repaired, plastering of bricks can be done to increase the canal capacity and its life span also.
