Solution
The correct option is B filtration
Explanation for correct option:
Option (B):
- In group, I of the table, methods of separation of mixtures are given. Out of the given options, filtration is the process used for separating the insoluble solid particles from the liquid solution using a filter medium.
- The filter medium separates out any impurity which is larger than the holes in the filter. A filter can remove small dirt particles from the water but cannot remove the dissolved salt.
Explanation for incorrect options:
Option (A): Surface run-off means the water from any source such as rain, river, etc which carries away the upper layer of soil, and organic and inorganic fertilizers and makes it a part of the water cycle.
Option (C): The water cycle represents the movement of water in our earth's atmosphere. The liquid water present on land and sea evaporates into water vapour, then condenses to form clouds, and falls back to earth in the form of rain, hail, or snow.
Option (D): A pond is an aquatic habitat where aquatic plants and animals live.
Hence, option (B) is the correct answer. X is filtration.
