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%.

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

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.

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

I think the Option A is a correct answer.

According to me, option A is correct.

Option B is correct answer. Ultimate strength is due to di-calcium. Tri calcium provides initial setting. Then ultimate strength starts.

Tri-calcium silicate is response for early developing strength. So, why gives ultimate strength a di-calcium silicate.

C3S gives intial strength and C2S give Ultimate strength.

C3S is the answer for that question for me.
