a.No drainage at all
b.Engineered design, proper drainage behind the wall, and often geogrid reinforcement
c.A smooth clay backfill packed tight

Giải thích
Taller retaining walls carry large lateral soil loads and usually require engineered design, gravel backfill with a drain to relieve water pressure, and geogrid soil reinforcement. Without drainage, water pressure builds behind the wall and pushes it over. Many jurisdictions require permits and engineering above a set height, commonly 3 to 4 feet.
