Best answer
The correct option is (a) total head

For explanation I would say: Total head is determined by measuring the distance from the source water surface to the output of the pump is producing at the pump outlet. If this value is measured for a centrifugal pump, the distance from the water surface to the pump outlet needs to be measured.
