Solution

The correct option is C Both sublimation and magnetic separation
  • Sublimation is a process in which solid changes to gas without changing into liquid. Particles of X sublime on heating and can be separated by sublimation leaving behind Y and Z.
  • Magnetic separation is a process in which magnetic particles are separated out from a mixture using a magnet. Y particles being magnetic in nature, can be separated by magnetic separation, leaving behind Z.
