Concrete gets 100 % hard in first 10 hours and it's totally different from strength of concrete so option D is correct.

@All.

Please read the question, it is cement not concrete.

Sohail Soomro said:   7 years ago
It is the cement that causes the strength gain/ hardening of concrete due to the heat of hydration process that is fast during first 28 days but if it is not rapid in early days it might be uniform though it is also available in options then why the answer is none of these?

Therefore the answer must be a rapid rate during the first few days and afterwards, it continues to increase at a decreased rate.

Concrete gains strength rapidly during initial time later also it gains strength at slow rate.

They have asked about cement, not concrete, therefore option D is the correct answer.

The Question is not about strength.
It is about hardness.

Option D is absolutely correct.
