A circular gravity aqueduct is not generally preferred because it has uniform curvature all around and hence offers more opportunities for sludge deposits.

So, D is the correct answer.

i think the option D should be "its improper support on the ground"

As the main design concepts, to maximize hydraulic mean depth to have max discharge and in a circular section, we get maximum hydraulic mean depth for the same area of c/s than another type of section.
