    Correct answer is C
    Concept:

    The general equation of superelevation is given by,



    Where,

    e = rate of superelevation = tan θ

    R = radius of the horizontal curve in m

    f = coefficient of lateral friction = 0.15

    Equilibrium superelevation:

    It is that superelevation which when provided imposes equal pressure on both outsides and inside of tyres of the vehicle, i.e f = 0

    The rate of equilibrium superelevation on a road is given by



    Explanation:

    The rate of equilibrium superelevation on a road is given by



    For a constant value of co-efficient of lateral friction:

    e α V2 i.e The rate of equilibrium superelevation on a road is directly proportional to the square of the velocity.

    e α 1/R i.e The rate of equilibrium superelevation on a road is inversely proportional to the radius of the horizontal curve.

    e+f=v²/127R...so value of superelevation increases with increase in velocity and decrease in radius of curve
    Option C is correct
