The correct option is (b) True

To explain: If there is settlement of subgrade in a canal where brick lining is present, the mortar joints present between the bricks or tiles provide numerous cracks so that seepage of canal water would be insignificant. The local area can be repaired without any problem even in case of abnormal settlement.
