Solution

The correct option is C By controlling span/depth ratio
(c) Deflection/vibration and cracking of R.C. member are checked by limit state of serviceability. Final deflection should be limited to maximum span/ 250 mm. Deflection limit is controlled by limiting span/depth ratio of the RC member.
