Solution

The correct option is A segregation
Segregation is when the aggregates separate from the rest of concrete. This causes weakening and excessive warping and shrinkage. Some of the ways to avoid segregation include.
* Placing the concrete as close as possible to its final position.
* Do not drop from higher that 23 feet.
