Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) P–3; Q–4; R–1; S–2

Explanation

Die-sinking EDM can generate a shaped deep blind cavity in conductive steel. LBM rapidly profiles thin sheet. Chemical machining etches laterally beneath masks, causing undercut. Pure waterjet cutting is suitable for food. Therefore **P–3,Q–4,R–1,S–2: A**.
