The axial pump is a pump in which fluid flows axially to the rotation of the propeller. In Axial flow, the fluid flows parallel to the axis of rotation, as in a turbine. Axial flow pump contains a propeller or centrifugal impeller in the casing.
Axial Flow Pump is preferred for flood control and irrigation applications.

As when we talk about irrigation. We require low head & higher speed pump. This condition is only satisfied in Kaplan turbine which is axial flow reation turbine.

Axial flow is the right answer as in question it's mentioned "for very high discharge ".
Axial flow discharge is more compared to Centrifugal.
Axial flow discharge is more compared to Centrifugal.

Centrifugal pumps are used for high discharge low head. Ideal application for irrigation and flood surge removal.
A is right answer.
A is right answer.

@Yash Bro Kaplan is a turbine, not a pump. You don't req mechanical motion in cases of irrigation and flood XD.

Axial flow pump is used for irrigation and flood control as it has higher discharge than other pumps.

It's Centrifugal Pump that is widely used. Its installation is easy and also discharge is good.

I think centrifugal pump is most widely used in irrigation & flood situation.
