    Non porous floor materials

    • Terrazo

    • Cork

    • Slate

    Correct Answer
    A. Slate
    Explanation
    Slate is a non-porous floor material because it is composed of fine-grained metamorphic rock that has undergone intense heat and pressure. This process causes the minerals in the rock to recrystallize, resulting in a dense and tightly packed structure. As a result, slate does not have any pores or open spaces that would allow liquids or gases to pass through.
