The correct answer is (a) laminar and steady

The explanation: The Darcy’s law has been demonstrated to be valid only for laminar flow conditions because the flow in sands, silts, and clays is invariably laminar.

Mathematically, v = K.i where v = discharge velocity, K = coefficient of permeability and I = hydraulic gradient.
