The higher surface area of angular aggregate with rough texture requires more water for a given workability than the rounded aggregate. This means that for a given set of conditions from the point of view of water-cement ratio and consequent strength, rounded aggregate gives higher strength.

Angular aggregate is the correct answer.

The rounded shape aggregate is the correct answer.

Agree @Shub.

Add that rounded aggregate has less surface area than give better workability in same condition.
