Which of the following statement is wrong about the requirement of good lining?

(a) The lining should be able to withstand the differential sub-soil pressure

(b) Brick lining, concrete lining or precast slab lining can be easily repaired as compared to cast-in-situ concrete lining

(c) The hydraulic efficiency generally reduces with time

(d) Brick tile lining may provide better abrasion  resistance than cement concrete and boulder lining

I got this question in an online quiz.

This is a very interesting question from Canal Lining in section Lining of Irrigation Canals and its Economics of Irrigation Engineering

Correct answer is (d) Brick tile lining may provide better abrasion  resistance than cement concrete and boulder lining

The best I can explain: A canal may have to transport a considerable amount of sediment load which damages the lining by abrasion. Cement concrete and stone boulder linings provide better abrasion resistance as compared to the brick tile lining.
