Solution

The correct option is B levigation
Gravity separation is also called levigation or hydraulic washing. Here, the lighter gangue particles are removed from heavier ore particles by washing in a water current. It is mainly used for oxide ores and carbonate ores based on their difference in densities of the ore particles and impurities.
