B Correct answer
Explanation

Kaplan turbine is a propeller-type reaction turbine with adjustable blades, designed for low-head applications. It's an axial flow turbine (water flows parallel to shaft), not mixed or outward flow. The 'low' in option B likely means 'low-head' despite the grammatical issue.
