I had been asked this question in class test.

The question is from Methods of Sand Moulding topic in portion Sand Moulding of Foundry and Forging

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) Cope

The explanation: The cope (in a separate flask) is rammed over pit (drag) with the pattern position. The cope is an upper part of the assembly where metal is poured in. Hence all these elements are the constituents of the cope.
