Best answer
Correct option is (b) False

The best I can explain: The defects such as blowholes, scab etc result in degenerated castings which make them unsuitable to perform the functions they are supposed to perform. That makes the entire casting to be scrapped off. Hence, it is the greatest loss to the industry.
