Solution

The correct option is C Evaporation
Evaporation is a process in which a liquid converts into gas. When sea water containing salt is kept under sunlight, it gradually evaporates and salt is left behind. This process is used for the production of salt from the sea water.
Salt cannot be separated by filtering it using a sieve or cloth.
Stirring and floatation are also not useful to separate the things dissolved in water.
