In a mortar, the binding material is
Answer: Option
Explanation:
A mortar is a mixture of binding material, water, and fine aggregate (such as sand or surkhi). The binding material is typically cement, which is a powder made of a mixture of calcined limestone and clay. When mixed with water, cement forms a paste that hardens over time to bind the aggregate together and create a strong and durable building material. Sand and surkhi are both types of fine aggregate that are often used in mortars, and cinder is a type of coarse aggregate that is not typically used in mortars.

Cement - Used as binding material.
SAND - Sand is used for filling voids of coarse aggregate & increases its strength as well as durability.
SURKHI - Surkhi is used as substitute for sand for concrete and mortar, and has almost the same function as of sand but it also imparts some.
Strength and hydraulicity. Surkhi is made by grinding to powder burnt. Bricks, brick-bats or burnt clay.
CINDER - Cinder is ash. *in simple language. Having same work as sand & cinder.
Hence sand can be replaced by cinder or surkhi. *Some building codes expressly prohibit the use of cinder blocks in construction projects.

Binding materials utilized in construction for making concretes and mortars, in bonding together individual elements of structural components, in waterproofing, and so on.
Binding materials are powdered substances that have the capacity when mixed (with water) to form a plastic mass that later hardens into a strong, rock-like solid.
