Answer»

Right answer is (a) POST mill

Best explanation: The post mill has blades MOUNTED on a central post. The horizontal shaft of the blade is connected to a LARGE break wheel. The break wheel interacts with a gear system, called the wallower, which rotates a central, VERTICAL shaft. This motion can then be used to POWER water pumping or grain grinding activities.
