First of all hydraulic is a part of lime which consists of silica, alumina & Iron oxide.

And then cement is similar in many respects to a good quality hydraulic lime. Which has already lime as we know that cement consist of lime, silica, alumina, Iron oxide & other material,

So, there is no requirement of lime then option A is most suitable.
