Solution
The correct option is D 2 1 4 3
(d)
Sand columns increase the permeability and therefore drainage of water occurs easily and faster. During earthquake conditions, the excess pore pressure will be quickly dissipated and thus liquefaction of sands can be reduced.
Riprap protect river banks from erosion.
