Solution

The correct option is B False
Filtration is used to separate minute insoluble solid particles from a liquid.
A filter paper is used to carry out this process. It is a sieve with very fine holes.
Milk is a liquid soluble in water and hence it is a homogeneous solution.
So, filtration cannot be used to separate milk and water.
Milk and water can be separated by simply heating the solution, which evaporates the water from the milk.
Hence, the given statement is false.
