Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(c) Sulphate Resisting Cement

Sulphate Resisting Cement (SRC) is used in environments where concrete is exposed to high levels of sulphate, such as in sewage and water treatment plants, or in marine structures. It resists the harmful effects of sulphate attack, which can degrade the concrete.
