Detailed Solution

The correct option is 2nd, as dams are hydraulic structures built in river basins. A hydraulic design is a construction lowered or somewhat lowered in any body of water, which upsets the normal progression of water. They can be used to redirect, disturb or stop the stream. An illustration of a hydraulic design would be a dam, which eases back the typical stream pace of a river to power turbines. A hydraulic design can be underlying rivers, an ocean, or any waterway where there is a requirement for adjusting the normal progression of water. Hydraulic structures are of two sorts: water hydraulics and hydraulic machines (oil-based or comparable). The water hydraulics are, to some extent or wholly lowered and change the direction or stream of untamed waters, like rivers, lakes, tidal estuaries, and oceans. These incorporate dams, weirs, spillways, flumes, and breakwaters. They are regularly aloof structures and have few or no moving parts.
