Solution

The correct option is C pebbles
Sieving is the method of separating the components of solid-solid mixtures differing in their sizes.

Flour is smaller in size than pebbles and thus, passes through the holes in the sieve to get separated.

Pebbles being bigger in size, cannot pass through the holes, and thus remain on the sieve.
