Ultimate strength to cement is provided by
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Dicalcium Silicate (C2S): This compound will undergo reaction slowly. It is responsible for the ultimate strength of concrete. This is also called as Belite. The heat of hydration is 260 J/Cal. Its proportion is 25 - 40%.

Tri- calcium silicate (C3S) has the property of hydrating rapidly and is responsible for providing not only early strength but also the ultimate strength.

Plasticity is opposite of elasticity,
Plasticity never regains its original shape after applied load as elasticity do.
Plasticity is a stage between liquid limit and plastic limit of the material.

The C3s and C2s both will give strength to the cement.

The dicalcium silicate is provided initially low strength but with the time it increases the strength of cement.

The answer is c2s, because same moles c3s and c2s, c2s will. Form more c-s-h gel resulting in long-term strength.
