Correct answer: D. Gravity dam
- A. Buttress dam
- B. Arch dam
- C. Concrete dam
- D. Gravity dam
Explanation
A gravity dam relies mainly on its massive self-weight to resist water pressure, uplift, and sliding. Buttress and arch dams transfer loads through structural supports or arch action rather than depending primarily on their own mass.
