Fine aggregate should be the right answer.

Answer is right, author don't care about concrete strength. We all know more water makes concrete bleeding and more coarse aggregate causes honeycomb.

Rich mix. Cement makes a paste which decreases the internal friction.

Abubakar said:   3 years ago
Well, I think about adding more water. Lubrication will be more and thus internal friction will be decreased.

In course aggregates surface area is less and hence less friction.

I think the Answer is based on the idea that coarse aggregates provide less surface area of contact than the fine particles that provide a higher surface area of contact b/w particles that causes friction.

Option C is correct.

Rich mix will reduce friction.

Lok Bdr Rokaya said:   5 years ago
Answer is Right. It is based on surface area.

How, if we increase water so there will be less work ability and slump value. This is not a way to reduce internal friction we must use some special ingredients.

Answer is right.

If we use C. A and more water then surface area will decrease and less interlocking between particles!

The Same condition occur when we use more water content, due to lubrication internal friction will reduce!
