Correct choice is (c) Centre

Easiest explanation: A jet strikes a curved plate at its centre. Force exerted by a jet on a stationery plate happens in three cases. The three cases are classified depending on their position. The three cases are when plate is vertical, plate is inclined and plate is curved with respect to the jet.
