A surge tank or pressure relief valves are used.

@All.

As per my knowledge, there is no PRV to reduce any Hammar Pressure, it just reduces the overall pressure in the pipe to follow.

It is just Air Valve that is used instead to reduce hammer pressure.

In Water Hammar software, where ever any surge comes, only Air Valves, Hydropneumatic tanks, or Surge tanks are used to overcome it.

So the right answer is B.
