I have been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.

This is a very interesting question from Deareator in chapter Building Blocks of Dairy Processing of Dairy Engineering

Answer 1

The correct option is (b) Lower

The best I can explain: The inlet of the cylindrical vessel must be located at a lower level than the outlet pipe of the milk tank(s) on the vehicle, as the milk should not be pumped into the vessel but transferred to it by gravity.
