Solution

The correct option is B Sublimation
When a mixture of salt and ammonium chloride are heated together, ammonium chloride sublimes on heating while sodium chloride (NaCl) is left as the residue.

- Filtration separates smaller particles from larger particles by the use of filter paper.
- Centrifugation separates lighter particles from heavier particles.
- Separating funnel is used for separating immiscible liquids.
Hence they are not suitable.
