Step 1: Recall the cementation process.
In chemical grouting (cementation), boreholes are treated with suitable chemicals before grouting to improve penetration and bonding.
Step 2: Identify the treatment process.
The treatment of boreholes with chemicals before cementation is known as
\[
\boxed{\text{Pre-silicatisation}.}
\]
Therefore,
\[
\boxed{(C)}
\]
is the correct answer.
