The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

In exposed aggregate concrete the top layer of cement paste is washed, brushed or etched away soon after placing so that the coarse aggregate (stones, pebbles) of the mix becomes visible.
The texture therefore comes from the decorative stones used in the mix and not from polishing, pigments or the grade of cement.
Hence the answer is: using stones in the mix.
Answer: (4) Using stones in the mix
