Solution
The correct option is C Rectangular- Parabolic As per IS 456:2000 clause 38.1 point (c): The relationship between the compressive stress distribution in concrete and strain in concrete may be assumed to be rectangle, trapezoid, parabola or any other shape which results in prediction of strength in substantial agreement with the results of test. An acceptable stress-strain curve is given below which is rectangular-parabolic
