Right choice is (a) True

Easy explanation: This is done in case of branch canals and distributary channels which irrigate the area directly, the FSL is fixed and marked at the head of the off-taking channel and outlets. In the case of the main canal which does not irrigate the area directly, the site of the fall is determined by considerations of economy.
