Answer»

Correct choice is (c) PREVENTS air circulation in the interior of heap

To explain I would say: Coal is piled in HEAPS of 10 to 12m height on a concrete floor, by compacting it in the layers of 20 to 30cm thickness using bulldozers. This prevents air circulation in the interior of the heap. The heap top is given a gentle slope to drain off rain WATER IMMEDIATELY without WASHING the coal.
