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
