Correct choice is (b) Supercritical airfoil
The explanation is: The GA (W)-1 (also known as Whitcomb airfoil) airfoil was the first low-speed airfoil obtained under the new airfoils. It led to the development of supercritical airfoils which had an almost similar shape. The supercritical airfoils had lesser drag at high subsonic speeds, which was a major performance improvement.
