Correct choice is (c) Straight Glacis Fall

To explain: In this type of modern fall, a straight glacis is provided after the raised crest. The hydraulic jump is made to happen on this glacis causing sufficient energy dissipation. If not flumed this fall gives good performance. This fall is suitable for 60 cumecs discharge and 1.5 m drop.
