Solution

The correct option is A immiscible liquids
Immiscible means that the liquids don't dissolve in each other – Kerosene oil and water are an example. It is possible to shake up the liquids and get them to mix but they soon separate. Separating immiscible liquids is done simply using a separating funnel.
