The earthen embankment constructed parallel to the river bank at some suitable distance for flood control are known as levees or dikes.
So, they are means for controlling flooding.
Free-brand is defined as, the height of the watertight portion of a building or other construction above a given level of water in a river, lake, etc.
So freeboard must be provided in order to control flood.
Hence answer must be an option C.

Free-board is provided. If it's not provided then the flood will overtop the wall.
