Correct option is C)
Limestone cement was increasingly used in construction. This was very
high-quality cement, which, when mixed with stone chips hardened into
concrete. This made the construction of large structures easier and
faster. Arches, domes and limestone mortar were used extensively in
buildings after 1190 AD.
