Right option is (d) Narrow Crest

To explain: A narrow crets is to say a sharp crest is provided for a higher coefficient of discharge, thus ensuring a greater discharge capacity than that of a broad crest. It is preferred because it is economical as it reduces the cost of crest longitudinally and transversely.
