Correct answer is (d) Potassium borofluoride

To explain I would SAY: Moulding materials are effectively inhibited by adding 1 to 2 percent of potassium borofluoride. And controlling of INHIBITOR content in moulding materials is very important because they can affect setting times. Sometimes elimination of SILICA content from moulding materials also takes place to avoid chemical reactions.
