Solution

The correct options are
B Aid fish breeding
C Provide hydroelectricity
A dam is a barrier that stops or restricts the flow of water or underground streams. Reservoirs created by dams not only suppress floods but also provide water. They provide water for domestic and industrial purposes, irrigation, generation of hydroelectricity, flood control, inland navigation, fish breeding, and recreational purposes.
