Solution

The correct option is C Smaller than the probable maximum flood
Standard Project Flood (SPF) is the greatest storm that may reasonably be expected without modifying the rainfall data whereas Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) is the greatest or extreme rainfall of a given duration that is physically possible over a station or basin. Hence, SPF is always less than PMP.
