Correct option is (a) the design head

Explanation: The Rated head is the head at which the turbine functioning at full gate opening will produce a power output. It is nothing but the specified head that is in the nameplate of the turbine. This is equal to the design head of the turbine so as to ensure maximum overall plant efficiency.
