B Correct answer
Explanation

Kaplan turbine is a low head axial flow turbine designed for applications with low water heads but high flow rates. Unlike Francis or Pelton turbines, Kaplan blades are adjustable to maintain efficiency across varying flow conditions. The option text appears truncated but the core concept is correct.
