Solution

The correct option is A get stuck
Filtration is any of various mechanical, physical or biological operations that separate solids from fluids (liquids or gases) by adding a medium through which only the fluid can pass. The fluid that passes through is called the filtrate. In filtration liquid (and anything dissolved in liquid) passes through holes in filter paper but solid particles are too big and they get stuck.
