The manufacturing process of Ordinary Portland cement is made primarily from calcareous and argillaceous materials, such as limestone or chalk, and from aluminium oxide, silica oxide, ferric oxide and magnesium oxide found as clay or shale.

Option A is correct.

A is right.

Raj yadav said:   7 years ago
I think A is correct option.

Avinash Reddy said:   7 years ago
A is correct lime stone (calcareous) and clay (aluminum, silica, ferric oxides) because 5% of gypsum is added just to overcome quick setting of cement.

Vikki said:   7 years ago
Gypsum is a important part of cement so I think B option is a correct explanation because without gypsum cement set imideatly after mixing water.

Only 2 to 3% gypsum is added to the cement.

So, I think option A is correct.

Rajan pokhrel said:   6 years ago
Option A Gypsum is only a small amount so the correct answer is limestone and clay.
