The weir with thick crest is known as Correct Answer Broad crested weir

Drowned weir:  When the liquid level on the discharged side is above the weir crest

Broad crested weir: It has a broad crest and the flowing fluid has a surface contact with the weir crest

Suppresses weir:  It is as wide as the channel and the width of the nappe is same as the length of the crest. There is no lateral contraction of the flow stream.

Free weir: Liquid level on the downstream side is below the weir crest. Both the upper and lower surfaces of the nappe are exposed to the atmosphere.

Statement (I): The ogee spillway is a control weir having an S-shaped crest profile which provides a high discharge coefficient without causing cavitations. Statement (II): The crest profile of ogee spillway conforms to the lower nappe of flow over a ventilated sharp-crested weir and ensures a constant discharge coefficient for all heads.
Consider the following statements with respect to weir under discussion: 1. Its design corresponds to soft sandy foundation. 2. The difference in weir crest and downstream river bed may not exceed 3. When water passes over it, the longitudinal location of the formation of a hydraulic jump is variable. This weir is of the type
