(A) Sulphate Resisting Portland Cement is correct Ans.
In this cement, the percentage of Tricalcium aluminate is kept below 5% and its results in the increase in resisting powder against sulphates. It is used for structures which are likely to be damaged by severe alkaline conditions such as canal linings, culverts etc.

Sulphate resisting cement is generally applied in coastal areas to avoid sulphate attack. Here rapid hardening cement should be applied.
