Multistage can produce both high heads and high discharge.

Maybe the options are wrong.

Multistaging of can be done in different ways, it may be in series or parallel.

If it is connected in series it produce more head and if it is connected in parallel it gives more discharge.

So question is improper to answer.

Multistage can be anything, it can be pumps arranged in series or pump arranged in parallel.

So, D is the correct answer.

If pumps are arranged in series it will produce high heads and in parallel it will give more discharge.
