The damp proof course is not a layer only but a whole set of the layer which is to be applied for protection of superstructure from moisture.
There are the following layers to be considered:
Foundation concrete (1:2:4) 40mm - 50mm.
Flat brick soiling (with fine aggregate).
Mortar layer with PUDLO (20mm - 40mm).
Finishing layer (tile base and tile).

Damp Proof Course (DPC) is generally applied at basement levels which restricts the movement of moisture through walls.
Cement concrete is commonly adopted material for DPC at plinth level, 38mm to 50mm thick layer of cement concrete M15(1:2:4) serves the purpose under normal condition.

It's not 4 cm.
it's generally kept 2.5cm or 25mm in plinth level so that moisture from substructrure did not proceed to the superstructure elements roos, halls, classes.

The given answer is correct.
In DOC.
The thickness of cement concrete (1:2:4)=40 to 150mm.
The thickness of mortar (1:3)= 20 to 40mm.

The correct thickness of DPC lies between 25mm to 40mm.

It is 12 to 40 mm so answer should be 20 not 40.
