The sewer which receives discharge from two or more main sewers or trunk sewers, is known as an outfall sewer.

So, B is the correct answer.

House sewer>lateral sewer>sub main (branch) > main sewer (trunk sewer) > outfall sewer. So how the answer is trunk sewer? Please tell me.

The flow line is as:-

House->Lateral->Main->Trunk->Outfall.

In between Main and Trunk, there is intercepting sewer to carry rain stormwater when the flow exceeds via a leaping weir.

Main sewer is also known as trunk sewer and intersecting sewer so how is trunk sewer the answer?

Lateral/branch --> main --> trunk --> intercepting.

Trunk sewer is right. I agree.

Intercepting sewer is the right answer.

Branch sewers typically run under streets receiving laterals from buildings along that street and discharge by gravity into trunk sewers at manholes.
