The correct answer is (b) parallel to the crest in a side-channel spillway

For explanation I would say: In chute spillway, after crossing over the crest of the spillway water flows at right angle shoots down a channel or a trough to meet the river channel downstream of the dam. The water after spilling over the crest flows parallel to the crest in a side-channel spillway.
