I think A is the right answer.

I don't think A is the correct answer since the same discharge velocity will be lower for sewers having a large cross-sectional as compared to high velocity for sewers with a smaller cross sectional area.

Option (D) is correct.

As the size of the sewer increases, the velocity of the flow decreases because the flow is spread over a larger cross-sectional area.

This decrease in velocity can lead to the deposition of solids, as the flow may not be strong enough to carry the sediment through the sewer.

Therefore, in larger sewers, there is a higher likelihood of deposition taking place.
