Solution

The correct option is B Rahat-gadge
Rahat gadge is used in Konkan regions to draw water from wells. Rahat is a large wheel that has several pots attached to it. These pots are known as gadge. This wheel is turned with the help of bullocks.
These pots [gadge] dip into the water in the well as the rahat is turned and gets filled as they come out.
The water from these pots gets poured into a channel and then it is sent to grooves and used for farming.
