Answer»

Correct choice is (b) Feeding aids

Easy explanation: At the time of solidification, the shrinkages are produced in the castings which are eliminated by the use of a RISER. The metal in riser should be in liquid FORM for a long PERIOD of time as to feed the casting till it SOLIDIFIES. So feeding aids are used for this purpose, they can be either exothermic materials or INSULATORS.
