​Which method was used for making bronze statues during Harrapan Civilisation?​

Correct option is A

Correct Answer: A Lost wax casting

Explanation:
The Harappan Civilization, also known as the Indus Valley Civilization, was known for its advanced metallurgy and craftsmanship. One of the most significant examples of their metallurgical skill is the "Dancing Girl" statue, which was discovered in Mohenjo-Daro. This bronze statue, along with other metal artifacts, was created using the lost wax casting method.

The lost wax casting method, also known as cire-perdue, involves the following steps:

1. A wax model of the statue is created.
2. The wax model is covered with a clay mold and allowed to harden.
3. The mold is heated so that the wax melts and drains out, leaving a hollow cavity.
4. Molten metal (usually bronze) is poured into the cavity.
5. After the metal cools and solidifies, the clay mold is broken, revealing the final statue.

This technique allowed Harappan artisans to create detailed and intricate designs in metal, demonstrating their high level of craftsmanship.
