Dear Student,

Venturi meter and orifice meter are the commonly used flow meters for measuring mass/volumetric flow rate or velocity of the flowing fluid.

An orifice plate is a device used for measuring flow rate, for reducing pressure or for restricting flow (in the latter two cases it is often called a restriction plate ).
also
In hydrology, discharge is the volumetric flow rate of water that is transported through a given cross-sectional area
So acc to the above 2 statements
Flow rate is symbolizing with discharge
a is correct
