I would agree with you. Aswan High Dam is a rock-fill dam located at the northern border between Egypt and Sudan. The dam is fed by the River Nile's waters, and the reservoir created by the dam forms Lake Nasser. t serves the irrigation needs of both Egypt and Sudan, controls flooding, generates power and helps in improving navigation across the Nile.

Yeah I from the research I've just done, A seems to be the most plausible.

It's not a it doesn't prevent the Nile from flooding it only controls the Nile's flooding. I would say that the answer is b, because by controlling the flooding the irrigation is improved and it is also a known fact that the dam generates hydroelectric power. @khalilforthewin
