Select one:
O a. A mixture of Low heat cements to avoid thermal stress and high energy
released and other factors should be considered.
O b.
C3A because it generates large amount of heat and dry the block faster.
O C. All of the answers are correct
O d. C2S only which generate less heat and less thermal stress
e. No correct answer given
