Solution

The correct option is D residue
In this process, the insoluble solid particles are separated from the liquid by using filter paper. In this process, the mixture is passed through the filter paper. The liquid gets easily passed through the pores of a filter leaving behind only solid particles. The water is called filtrate and the solid is called 'residue'.
