The correct answer is A. (1) Lost wax; (2) casting.

Explanation:

Lost wax, or lost-wax casting, is a technique in which a sculpture is made as a duplicate of an original sculpture.

Although there are many different processes to cast a sculpture in lost wax, the principles remain the same:

A model is made, often in clay or wax.A mould is made around the original piece.The mould is partially filled with wax to create a hollow copy of the original.A second mould, made with fire resistant materials, is created around the wax model.Liquid metal (often silver, gold, brass, or bronze) is poured into the mould.The wax evaporates, liquifies, or burns, leaving room for the metal to cast inside the mould.The mould is removed and the final piece is recovered.
