Right answer is (d) Montague Type Fall

Explanation: In this type of fall the energy dissipation is incomplete on a straight glacis due to the vertical component of velocity remains unaffected. So, therefore due to this reason the straight glacis is replaced by a parabolic curve known as Montague profile. This curved glacis is difficult to construct and therefore is costlier. Hence it is not adopted in India.
