The ability of cement to retain its volume after it gets hardened is known as Soundness of Cement. That means the cement should be at minimum volume change after it gets hardened.
The test conducted to identify the excess amount of lime in cement is known as soundness test of cement.

No @Sourabh.
Le chattier Is used for free lime only.
Auto clave can be used for both lime and magnesia. Also it is quantity not quality.

The quantity of free lime is the correct answer. I agree with the given answer.

It should be durability.

C is the right answer.

Le Chatelier procedure determines unsoundness due to free lime CaO only, whereas the autoclave test measures expansion due to either free CaO, free MgO, or both.
So the answer is correct.
So the answer is correct.

It's quantity, not quality.

Soundness test is performed to determine a durability of cement.
There are two type of soundness test:-.
1. Le Charlier test- to measure the unsoundness due to lime and magnesia (both).
2. Autoclave test - to measure the unsoundness due to magnesia only.
Note:- there is no test to measure unsoundness due to lime only.

Soundness test also measures the presence of free magnesia. Le Charlier and autoclaves apparatus are used for measuring unsoundness.
