Solution

The correct option is B
Water Immersion

The most appropriate and simple method of separating good quality grains from the damaged ones is by immersing all the grains in water. This will cause the damaged or bad grains to float up because they are hollow. The viable or good seeds on the other hand will sink and settle at the bottom.
