Correct option is A

Surge tank and penstock are essential components of a hydro-electric power plant: Penstock A large-diameter pipe that carries water from the reservoir or forebay to the turbine. Designed to withstand high pressure and deliver water at controlled velocity. Surge Tank A protective device connected to the penstock. It absorbs sudden pressure changes (water hammer) due to rapid load variations on the turbine. Helps maintain stable flow and prevents damage to the penstock and turbine.\text{Surge tank and penstock are essential components of a hydro-electric power plant:} \\[10pt]\bullet \ \textbf{Penstock} \\[4pt]\quad \bullet \ \text{A large-diameter pipe that carries water from the reservoir or forebay to the turbine.} \\[4pt]\quad \bullet \ \text{Designed to withstand high pressure and deliver water at controlled velocity.} \\[8pt]\bullet \ \textbf{Surge Tank} \\[4pt]\quad \bullet \ \text{A protective device connected to the penstock.} \\[4pt]\quad \bullet \ \text{It absorbs sudden pressure changes (water hammer) due to rapid load variations on the turbine.} \\[4pt]\quad \bullet \ \text{Helps maintain stable flow and prevents damage to the penstock and turbine.}​​
