Solution

The correct option is A True
Filtration is used to separate insoluble solids from liquids. The insoluble solids have particle size bigger than the size of pores present in the filter medium. Hence, they do not get through it.

Brewing coffee involves passing hot water through the ground coffee using a filter. The liquid coffee is the filtrate. Due to the difference in particle size of coffee and water, filtration is used.
