Best answer
The correct choice is (d) Lathes, Pneumatic and Toggles

Easiest explanation: In a gravity die casting, the two mould halves present are securely clamped before the pouring operation takes place. Simple mechanical clamps (latches, toggle clamps etc.) are adequate for small moulds where as larger permanent moulds need pneumatics or power clamping methods.
