Solution
The correct option is A Dancing Girl
The bronze image of a dancing girl from Mohenjo-Daro is an important sculpture of the ancient Harappan civilisation. It was made using a technique called the lost-wax technique. An image of the sculpture is made using wax and covered with a cast or a mould. The mould is heated, draining the wax out. Then, molten bronze is poured into the mould and cooled down. After a while, the cast is carefully broken to reveal the metal sculpture.
