Solution

The correct option is C Both A and B
Baolis also called stepwells are wells or ponds in which the water is reached by descending a set of steps. They may be multi-storied with a bullock turning a water wheel to raise the well water to the first or second floor. A dighi was a square or circular reservoir of about 0.38 m by 0.38 m with steps to enter. Each dighi had its own sluice gates. People were not allowed to bath or wash clothes on the steps of the dighis.
