Solution

The correct option is A separating funnel
A mixture containing water and benzene can be separated into its constituents with the help of separating funnel. Water and Benzene are not miscible with each other, so they can be separated using separating funnel where the heavier liquid (water) will form a lower layer and lighter liquid (Benzene) will form the upper layer.
