A.

fine grain 

B.

coarsegrain

C.

medium grain

D.

fine grain, coarsegrain and medium grain, all are equally good

Answer ( Option B)

coarsegrain

Solution

For steel casting, coarse grain type of sand is better.

For uniform casting, we need the heat transfer from the casting should be low and uniform.

Case 1 : If we use fine grains then heat transfer rate will be high.


Case 2 : If we use coarse grains then air resistance between voids of coarse grains sand plays an important role to reduce the heat transfer from the casting to get uniform solidity.

Hence, the correct option is (B).
