Correct answer is (a) low ogee weir

The best explanation: Low ogee weir is required as a control structure in the chute spillway. The entire chute spillway is divided into the entrance channel, control structure, Chute channel or discharge channel, and energy dissipation arrangements in the form of silting basin at the bottom.
