Correct answer is (a) Borrow Pit

For explanation: Clearly the diagram represents the excavation of pit of width less than half the width of the canal and the depth of the pit is less than 1 m. So, therefore according to this information we can say that the diagram represents a borrow pit. And more information we can obtain from the diagram is that the borrow pit is an internal borrow pit.
