Please detail of hydration of cement?
Rohit Kumar said:

The reaction b\w cement and water is called hydration and heat produce during hydration is called heat of hydration thats why concrete gains strength due to hydration of cement.

Answer should be D. Because of chemical reactions between cement and water.

Aggregate are inert material. They don't take part in chemical reaction.

In concrete aggregate and sand are also called non-reactivate materials so option C is the only correct answer.

The chemical reaction of cement is only with water (called as hydration of cement).
And how evaporation can help in gain strength.
Only C option is correct.
And how evaporation can help in gain strength.
Only C option is correct.

Option C is correct because in option A the cement doesn't chemically react with aggregates. And in option B the evaporation from concrete in submerged structures doesnt occur but strength is gained. And the hydration of cement is the only correct option.
