Solution

The correct option is A stationary phase
The stationary phase is mostly solid and it is the basic structure holding the chromatography technique.

The mobile phase containing the chemical sample travels all the way up or down the stationary phase.

For example, in thin-layer chromatography, the stationary phase is the silica gel or SiO2

Hence the correct option is A.
