Solution

The correct option is C Sublimation
Sublimation separates a mixture of solids in which one solid undergoes sublimation. In other words, it changes directly to vapour on heating, without going through the liquid state.

Iodine is a solid that sublimes. When a mixture of iodine and sand is heated in a beaker, the iodine changes from solid to
vapour directly.
These vapours of iodine can be obtained by cooling. They will change back to solid directly.
