Solution
The correct option is B stabilisers Froth flotation method involves the property of preferential wetting of ore and gangue particles. Collectors like pine oil when added make the surface of the ore particles water repellent.
While the stabilizers like aniline generate a sufficiently stable foam layer on the top so that the ore particles could be skimmed off easily.
