The correct answer is (a) Epoxy resins

To explain: The making of a plastic pattern can be done by sand clay moulds or moulds made of plaster of Paris. Hence, the cold setting epoxy resins with suitable fillers are used. With a proper combination, it is possible to obtain a no shrink plastic material and as such double shrinkage allowances may not be required.
