Solution

The correct option is C Handpicking
Handpicking is used for separation when the differences between the components are clearly visible. These differences can be color, size and shape. Also, the particle size should be large enough to be hand-picked.
Since, P and Q are visibly different and particles of P are large in size. Thus, they can be easily separated by handpicking.
