The correct answer is (b) True

The best explanation: If the available natural slope is steeper than the bed slope of the canal, then this is adjusted by the construction of vertical falls or drops in the canal bed at suitable intervals. But such a drop will not be stable, therefore in order to maintain this drop a masonry structure is constructed. This is known as canal fall or canal drop.
