Option B is right.

If carbon was not in the option then cementite will be the answer but out of cementite and carbon, carbon is the main reason for hardness of steel.

I think the right answer is Cementite it contains.

Ref: RS Khurmi.

Neeraj said:   5 years ago
Hardness of steel depends upon the amount of carbon present and heat treatment.

Carbon increases the hardness of iron.

Cementite increases the hardness of steel.
