A.

Acidic

B.

Highly alkaline

C.

Neutral

D.

Just alkaline

Correct option is B


To prevent corrosion of steel reinforcement in RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) structures, the pH value of concrete should be highly alkaline. A pH of around 12 to 13 helps to form a passive layer on the surface of the steel, which protects it from corrosion.
