Answer:

c. The flow is supercritical

Step-by-step explanation:

The supercritical flow of water is when the velocity is greater than the wave velocity. It is high flow velocity and the velocity is greater than the critical depth. The depth of water is denser when the flow is maintained at a certain level of velocity. The area is steep and slope is minimum so that the flow of water is supercritical.
