A dictionary is the best reference source to use to find the meaning of the word flume as it is used in this sentence from the passage. Option C is correct.

A dictionary consists on a book or electronic resource that lists the words of a particular language in alphabetical order and provides their meaning, or even the equivalent words in a different language. What's more, a dictionary usually adds information about pronunciation, origin, and usage of the word defined.
