The correct choice is (c) morning glory

The explanation is: A flared inlet called morning glory is often used in large projects. The horizontal tunnel is either taken through the dam body or below the foundations. Chute blocks, dentated sills and baffle piers are all auxiliary devices which help in energy dissipation.
