Solution

The correct option is C By winnowing
Winnowing- Winnowing is a method of separation of chaff or husk from wheat/grains. Also called process of separation of heavier components from lighter components by the application of wind.
Hold the container of pulses in the direction of the wind and then shake, pulses being heavier will fall straight down and husks being lighter will fall away due to the wind.
