Right choice is (c) 3

For explanation I would say: According to the material used and certain design features, the gravity weir is sub-divided into three groups. They are vertical drop weir, sloping weir, and parabolic weir. Sloping weir is again classified into two groups, namely masonry slop weir and dry stone slope weir.
