The Bessemer process is the correct answer.

The correct answer is Crucible Process because the Crucible process is used for making musically instruments in which carbon content (0.1-0.5%) which is a softer variety of steel and Bessemer process used to make railway sleepers.

The Bessemer process was the first inexpensive industrial process for the mass production of steel from molten pig iron before the development of the open hearth furnace. The key principle is removal of impurities from the iron by oxidation with air being blown through the molten iron. The oxidation also raises the temperature of the iron mass and keeps it molten.

Can anyone explain what is bessemer process?

Steel produced by open hearth process is milder than that obtained by the bessemer process.
