Best answer
The correct option is (d) Silicone

The best explanation: In the shell molding process, the pattern is coated with sand and typical binders and a shell are created over it. After the shell is done, a parting agent is coated over it to facilitate the easy removal of the shell. Silicone is a parting agent.
