The correct choice is (b) True

Explanation: The main aspect of river training works is to confine the flow to the river channel itself and controlling and regulating the river bed configuration which in turn ensures the safe and effective disposal of floods and sediment load. The first and foremost aim of these works is to stabilize and train the river along a certain alignment.
