Solution

The correct option is B False.
Decantation is a process for the separation of a solid- liquid mixture or a mixture of immiscible liquids.
When a mixture of two immiscible liquids is left for some time in a tank, two separate layers are formed. The layer on top is gently poured into another container and the two liquids are obtained.
For example, a mixture of oil and water can be separated using decantation.
