Solution

The correct option is B

Concrete is the aggregate and cement is a part of it


Cement is the binder or base of concrete. Concrete is basically the aggregate mix which includes cement as well.

Cement helps in binding the aggregates into a strong, solid mass. Cement constitutes about 12% of the materials in concrete.

It is much less durable than concrete.
