    yes gurmeet all can be answers because we are seeing a outcrop cross cutting parallel to strike so observer cant know the exact dip from this section. another dimension almost parallel to dip section is needed to know the dip amount.

    Yes, all options will be correct. The dip of the bed depends on the section which you are looking at. If you will look at strike parallel section the dip will be 0°. If you will look at a section perpendicular to the strike, the dip amount will be maximum. If you will look at any section in between perpendicular or parallel to the strike section, the dip amount will be anything between 0° and maximum value, depending on the section which you are looking at. The shown section is a strike parallel section, that's why the beds are looking horizontal. However, if you will look at different section of the same bed the dip amount will be different. So, all options are correct.

    Yes, that's what I said. You are seeing all beds are parallel because you are looking at strike parallel section. If you will look at any other section (which is not shown here) then only you can see the inclined beds.
