Early strength of cement is provided by Tri Calcium Aluminate.

The Early setting is tricalcium aluminate. Early strength is tricalcium sillicate.

I agree with you @Saunak Bhandari.

Initial setting is responsible by aluminate as it first compounds to react but early strength is provided by tricalcium silicate and ultimate strength is by dicalcium silicate.

C3S is the right answer.

Tricalcium Silicate (C3S) hardens rapidly and is largely responsible for initial set and early strength. In general, the early strength of Portland cement concrete is higher with increased percentages of C3S. Dicalcium Silicate (C2S) hardens slowly and contributes largely to strength increases at ages beyond 7 days.

Question is about strength, not for setting time.
So, the Answer is correct B.
So, the Answer is correct B.
