    " D " is a right answer as explain below:
    Basic capacity: The basic capacity is the maximum numbers of passenger cars that can pass a given point on a lane or a roadway during one hour under the most ideal roadway and traffic conditions that can possibly be attained.
    Possible capacity: It is the maximum number of vehicles that can pass a given point on a lane or roadway during one hour under the prevailing roadway and traffic conditions.
    Practical Capacity: It is the maximum number of vehicles that can pass a given point on a lane or roadway during one hour with creating unreasonable delay under the prevailing roadway and traffic conditions.
    Design capacity: it is the practical capacity or a smaller value determined for use in designing the highway to accommodate the design hourly volume.
    Theoretical Capacity: It is the number of vehicles passing any point in one hour per lane.
