Yes option B is the correct answer, because only the option B shows the quality of cement as asked in the question.

I agree with both @Singh and @Ravi.

I am agree with @Mr. Singh.

At Site:

Open the bag and take a good look at the cement. There should not be any visible lumps. The colour of the cement should normally in greenish grey. Thrust your hand into the cement bag. It must be giving you a cool feeling. There should not be any lump inside.

Take a pinch of cement and feel-between the fingers. It should give a smooth and not a gritty feeling. Take a handful of cement and throw it on a bucket full of water, the particle should float for some time before they sink.

I think B option is correct because it is a physical property of cement when we check the quality of cement in field.
