Right answer is (c) 12 m

The best explanation: Most of the existing tanks possess a maximum depth of 4.5 m, only a few tanks are as deep as 7.5 to 9 m. Only in the exceptional cases, the depth exceeds 11 m in depth. The tank is generally referred to as a reservoir when the depth of the tank exceeds 12 m or so.
