Answer 1

Correct option is (c) slurry

Explanation: A slurry is a thin sloppy mud or cement or, in extended use, any fluid mixture of a pulverized solid with a liquid (usually water), often used as a convenient way of handling solids in bulk. Slurries behave in some ways like thick fluids, flowing under gravity and are also capable of being pumped if not too thick.
