    An Iowa paving project requires a water-to-cement ratio (w/c) of 0.45 in concrete due to exposure (freezing and thawing) condition, 0.50 due to sulfate content in soil and ground water, and 0.40 due to the concrete strength requirement. What should be the controlling w/c of the designed concrete?
    A: 0.45
    B: 0.50
    C: 0.40
    D: 0.48
