Best answer
The correct choice is (d) Worn out

The best explanation: Worn out core boxes give oversize core dimensions. Worn out core prints allowing a core to float or move. Inadequate core print areas permit lifting of the core due to the buoyancy of molten metal. Hence the variation in wall thickness occurs.
