The explanation for the incorrect options-
(A) Funnel - it is an inverted cone-shaped apparatus used to transfer liquids and as a part of the assembly in the process of filtration.
(B) Filter paper - it is a type of paper with very tiny holes called pores and is used as a filter in the process of filtration.
(C) Beaker - it is an apparatus made of glass used to keep and collect solutions. It is used to collect the filtrate in the process of filtration.
Filtration – The process by which the insoluble or suspended particles of a mixture are separated from the liquid by using a porous membrane called a filter is called filtration. For example – the separation of sand and clay particles from water by passing it through a filter paper.
Hence, option (D) is correct. the condenser is the odd one out.
