    A.

    Swing basket

    B.

    Rope and bucket

    C.

    Circulating two basket lift

    D.

    Persian wheel

    Correct option is B

    The Correct Answer is: (B) Rope and bucket
    Explanation:
    The rope and bucket system is a commonly used animal-operated device for lifting water from wells deeper than 20 meters. In this method, a bucket attached to a rope is lowered into the well and then pulled up by animal power, usually oxen, making it efficient for greater depths.
    Information Booster:
    • It is widely used for domestic water needs and small-scale irrigation.

    • Animals like bullocks walk away from the well, pulling the rope and lifting the bucket filled with water.

    • This method allows control over the amount of water lifted and is suitable for deep wells.

    Additional Information:
    • Swing basket: Only suitable for shallow water lifting by manual labor.

    • Circulating two basket lift: A manual system used for shallow water.

    • Persian wheel: Used for continuous lifting of water from wells but generally suited for moderate depths.
