The correct option is A True
To Show - Milk is a mixture of cream and water
The principle used - Centrifugation - It is a technique for separating suspended particles from liquids in which the mixture is rotated (or spun) at high speed in a centrifuge.
Experiment -
Milk is filled in a machine called a centrifuge and rotated at a very high speed.
Due to which, cream being lighter starts separating and floating on the milk.
Now this cream is collected and skimmed milk will remain behind the centrifuge.
This shows by the physical method of separation also known as Centrifugation, milk can be separated into cream and water.
Hence, the given statement is True.
