Solution

The correct option is B Axial Flow pump
The axial pump is a pump in which fluid flows axially to the rotation of the propeller. In Axial flow, the fluid flows parallel to the axis of rotation, as in a turbine. Axial flow pump contains a propeller or centrifugal impeller in the casing. Axial Flow pump is preferred for flood control and irrigation applications.
