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%.

Dicalcium silicate provides Ultimate strength i.e. strength after 7days and tricalcium silicate provides early strength ie, before 7 days.

c3s and c2s are major strength giving component in cement. For same amount of ater added (23%). c2a give more amount of c-s-h gel which bind cement molecule together.
c3a provide early setting characteristics while c2a react slowly but provide strength while hardening process.
