Correct option is (a) True

To explain I would say: The water level on the upstream side rise up when a bridge is constructed across a contracted stream. This maximum rise in water level at the site is afflux and clearance is nothing but freeboard. Hence, the greater is the afflux the lesser will be the freeboard for the same deck level.
