By replacing sand with dust strength increases. We have performed this test in the lab. We replaced the sand with crusher dust and as we were increasing the percentage of dust the corresponding strength also increased.

Dust has less permeability or leads to clogging, so it leads to a decrease in workability due to its sticky nature, too.

Option B & C saying that work-ability increases with the increase of dust. I have confusion in these two.

In option B and C fine grading is there, so the dust is also a fine material. I think that may be the reason.
