Solution

The correct option is A airtight
Cement is highly sensitive to moisture, and absorbs moisture from the atmosphere very actively.
It hardens and forms clumps when exposed to water. Hence, it cannot be used for constructional purpose. That's why it is packaged in airtight bags and stored in a dry condition.
