Best answer
Correct choice is (a) Infrared

The best I can explain: In a foundry testing lab, the samples used for moisture test are 20 to 50 grams of the prepared sand place in the pan and heated by an infrared heater bulb for 2 to 3 minutes. The wavelength of the infrared rays is high enough to generate heat and evaporate the moisture.
