Correct option is C
The reinforcement used in cement concrete pavement is in the form of welded wire fabric or bar mats. The function of reinforcement is to hold the cracked slab portions together and thus not to allow them to open up any more. In order to obtain the maximum advantage, it is suggested that greater quantity of the reinforcement should be placed in the longitudinal direction. Further the reinforcement should either be placed in the middepth or towards the top of the pavement for better functioning.
