I got this question during an interview.

I need to ask this question from Types of Partitions in division Cavity Walls & Partition Walls of Construction & Building Materials

Answer 1

Correct option is (d) Plaster slab partitions

To elaborate: Plaster slab partitions are made from burnt gypsum. Plaster of Paris can also be used instead of burnt gypsum. Metal lath partitions consist of channels with metal lath on one of their ends. Clay block partitions use clay blocks, either solid or hollow. Asbestos sheet partitions use asbestos sheets.
