Solution

The correct option is A Heating the rod
A metal expands and becomes soft when heated. So when the iron rod is heated, it becomes soft and can be easily moulded into the circular shape.​

On the other hand, cooling a metal makes it hard and the metal contracts.​ Dropping the rod or stretching it won’t affect its shape to form a circular loop.​
