Correct choice is (a) Reciprocating ram

Explanation: the multi retort stoker consists of a series of alternate retorts and tuyere boxes for supply of air. Each retort is fitted with a reciprocating ram for feeding and pusher plates for the uniform distribution of coal. The coal falling from the hopper is pushed forward during the inward stroke ram.
