Answer ( Option A)

separate the lower crest 'undersluice side' from the higher crest 'weir side'

Solution

Divide wall:
    •     A divide wall is a long masonry or concrete wall or groyne (an embankment protected on all sides by stone or concrete blocks) which is constructed at right angles to the axis of the weir to separate the under sluices from the rest of the weir.
The main functions of a divide wall:
    •    It separates the turbulent floodwaters from the pocket in front of the canal head.
    •    It helps in checking parallel flow (to the axis of the barrage) which would be caused by the formation of deep channels leading from the river to the pocket in front of the sluices.
