I think less than minimum gradient should not be counted in exceptional gradient. Exception gradient is very steep and can be provided for a short span only. Whereas less than minimum gradient can be provided for a very long duration as well even it is not objectionable.

Gradients are divided into the following categories:

1. Ruling gradient.
2. Limiting gradient.
3. Exceptional gradient.
4. Minimum gradient.
5. Average gradient.
6. Floating gradient.

Option C can only be the right one.

Answer D is the correct answer.

And the maximum length of an exceptional gradient should not exceed 60m in one km road length.
