The correct answer is

Lost-Wax Technique

The Harappans were skilled in bronze metallurgy, producing figures such as the famous Dancing Girl of Mohenjo-daro.

They cast bronze using the Lost-Wax Technique (also called cire-perdue).

In this method a wax model is coated with clay and heated so the wax melts and drains out, leaving a hollow mould into which molten bronze is poured.

Hence, the popular casting technique used by the Harappans was the Lost-Wax Technique.
