Let is assume the question is for circular pipe based on options given. But, the question is when will the Laminar flow cease? I think, once the fully turbulent flow is achieved, which is after crossing Re 4000. Then only we can say there is no laminar flow.

For circular pipes, the Reynolds number is used to classify flows as follows.
<2000 laminar flow.
2000-4000. Transitional flow.
>4000 turbulent flow.
<2000 laminar flow.
2000-4000. Transitional flow.
>4000 turbulent flow.
