Correct option is (b) Molten wax
To elaborate: An expendable pattern, around which the mould is prepared. For the preparation of the pattern for every casting to be made, molten wax is used as the pattern material, which is injected under pressure of about 2.5 MPa into a metallic die, which has the cavity of the casting to be made. After the solidification of wax, it would produce the pattern.
