Setting time test is also done with the help of Vicat's apparatus so the answer should be both B and C isn't it?

@Bhimasi.

You are right Vicat test is testing consistence setting time, workability and flow. So B is the most correct answer.

Consistency test includes both initial and final setting.

Standard consistency of a cement paste is defined as that consistency which will permit a vicat plunger having 10 mm dia and 50 mm length to penetrate to a depth of 33-35 mm from top of the mould.
