Right answer is (b) Canal Officer

The explanation: We cannot expect a complete yield from the complete area of the crops sown. Due to natural calamities or due to human made mistakes the yield of the crop may decrease. So, when the failure of crop occurs due to the reasons which cannot be controlled by the cultivators, the canal officers have the authority to grant remissions to the cultivators in full or part.
