Solution

The correct option is C Magnetic separation
A mixture of sulphur and iron filings can be separated by magnetic separation. This is because iron is attracted to magnets, but sulphur being non-magnetic is not attracted. So, by bringing a magnet closer to the mixture, iron can easily separate out of it by getting attracted to the magnet and we will be left behind with the sulphur.
