The correct answer is (a) trough spillway

To explain I would say: Bhakra Dam is a concrete gravity dam on the Sutlej River in Himachal Pradesh of the total height of 226 m approximately. It forms the Gobindsagar Reservoir with controlled overflow chute or trough spillway and four spillway gates for an emergency.
