Laminar flow is less than or equal to 2100. And Re>4000 Turbulent flow.

Laminar flow is in linear motion and having re less than 2100, after increase the re the turbulence is so that velocity increase.

Re below 2100 is laminar flow in case of circular pipes.

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.
