Explanation / Answer
1.Shoddy building practices refer to the practice of using imferior work methods during construction. No doubt all the above mentioned factors contribute to it, but its primary cause is " Unethical builders" who work for their private profit.
2. The Portland cement was introduced in the construction work in the 19th century.
Pozzolana( type of volcanic ash used for mortar or cement). It was used in the ancient times but it is not most widely used material in construction.
Pise( building material of stiff clay or earth forced between boards which are removed after its hardening process) is not a very old construction technique.
Bricks were introduced into the construction field before 7500 B.C and are the most widely used construction material. HENCE THIS IS THE CORRECT OPTION.
