Solution

The correct option is B Separating funnel
These two liquids can be easily separated using a Separating funnel.
A separating funnel is a piece of laboratory glassware, used to separate the components of a liquid mixture having components with different densities. Component with higher density goes to the bottom of the separating funnel and the lower density component remains on the top of the denser component and can hence be separated easily.
Hence option $B$ is correct.
