Solution

The correct option is D None of the above
Most Kayals or backwaters are predominantly brackish i.e. saline. In certain areas, such as the Vembanad Kayal, where a barrage has been built near Kumarakom, salt water from the sea is prevented from entering the deep inside, keeping the fresh water intact. Such fresh water is extensively used for irrigation purposes.
