![7.)
Which of the following statements is true?
A.) The critical design parameter for a settling tank or clarifier is the water overflow
rate because it decides the extent of particle removal
B.) The critical design parameter for a settling tank or clarifier is the water overflow
rate because it corresponds to the settling velocity of the smallest particles
C.) The critical design parameter for a settling tank or clarifier is the water overflow
because particles with a settling velocity less than the overflow rate will not be
removed
D.) Both A and C](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Ff4808905-5a0b-4a71-a52a-5b84edd66cbc%2F0981772d-7e6f-40be-a0f7-17486fd31b37%2Fxawmxyk_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
