The correct choice is (a) Compacted earth lining

The best I can explain: The use of this lining is restricted to the soil available in the area where the canal has to be constructed. Soil graded to obtain the required characteristics and is compacted at optimum moisture content. Transportation of such soils from outside is not recommended as it would be uneconomical.
