The correct option is (b) False

Explanation: In cavity-type tubewell, water contribution to the bored hole takes place through the bottom layer only as is done by screen well. The flow in a cavity well is essentially spherical. In strainer type tubewell, water enters into the well from the sides and the flow is radial.
