Solution

The correct option is B Oil and water

The above setup is of filtration. There are some mixtures which contain insoluble solid particles suspended in a liquid. These suspended solid particles which are insoluble in a liquid can be obtained by passing the mixture through a filter paper. The filter paper has minute pores that trap the solid particles. Out of all the given options, the mixture of alcohol and water is a mixture of miscible liquids. It doesn't contain any insoluble suspended solid particles. Hence, the components cannot be separated by filtration.
