Solution
The correct option is D Separating funnel
Immiscible liquids are those which do not mix with each other and form distinct layers. To separate immiscible liquids such as oil and water, a separating funnel is used.
Filtration is used to separate insoluble solids from liquids in which the insoluble solids have particle size bigger than the filtering medium.
Centrifugation is used to separate insoluble solids suspended evenly in liquid and the solid particles are too tiny to be filtered out.
Handpicking is used to separate a mixture of two solids. The solid particles should be big enough to be handpicked.
