Best answer
The correct choice is (c) arch

For explanation: They are normally made of metal, stone masonry or RCC. They are installed easily, and you don’t need to use expensive water diversion structures to install it. Common shapes include semicircular arch, elliptical arch, and concrete box culverts.  Another benefit of these type of structure is that the installation process will not take a lot of time, compared to traditional box culverts.
