Best Answer

Type C gypsum board meets and exeeds the fire resistance requirements of a type x board. It has mineral additives in the gypsum core that expands when exposed to heat. This expansion holds the board together longer during fire exposure. It is referred to by the Gypsum Association as "Improved Type X" board.

That depends upon location. Tiles can be installed on a gypsum board wall or ceiling.
