Right answer is (a) Dentated sills

The explanation is: Chute blocks help in stabilizing the flow and thus improve the jump performance. Baffle piers help in breaking the flow and dissipate energy mostly by the impact. Dentated sills are generally provided at the end of the stilling basin and diffuse the residual portion of high-velocity jet reaching the end of the basin.
