Answer & Explanation
Answer: C) forming
Explanation: The process of converting a cylindrically shaped gob of glass into a bottle or jar is called forming, and it is essentially a controlled cooling process. While various types of forming machines are used throughout the world, the most predominant type is the IS machine. As its name implies, it consists of up to 16 sections, each one an individually functioning, hollow glass machine. It performs two basic functions: it shapes the gob into a hollow container, and simultaneously removes heat from the gob to prevent it from deforming significantly under its own weight.
