The correct option is C
separation

Handpicking stones from rice separates these two components. Thus, it is a process of separation. Handpicking is useful in separating the components which have difference in appearance in terms of shape, size, colour, etc. For example, at our homes, stones are separated from food items such as rice and lentils.
