Right option is (c) side-channel spillway

Explanation: The side channel spillway is suitable when the valley is too narrow. When there is no room for provision of chute spillway (as side flanks of sufficient width are required), this type is adopted as it requires limited space. The situation required for the chute spillway and side-channel spillway is mostly the same.
