Which of the following is the simplest type of spillway which can be provided independently and at low costs?

(a) Ogee spillway

(b) Trough spillway

(c) Siphon spillway

(d) Saddle spillway

The question was posed to me during an interview.

My doubt stems from Chute Spillway in portion Spillways, Energy Dissipators and Spillway Gates of Irrigation Engineering

Correct choice is (b) Trough spillway

Easy explanation: The trough or chute spillway is adaptable to any type of foundations and is the simplest type of spillway. It can be easily provided independently at low costs but it requires ample room adjacent to the dam.
