Correct choice is (b) The coordinates of the upper nappe

The explanation is: The crest profile is determined by the coordinates of the lower nappe. The plotting of the upper nappe is useful in determining the clearance for the spillway deck bridge and the top levels of the training walls on the side of the spillway.
