Solution

The correct option is A sublimation; sublimable
Camphor is a solid that can converts directly from solid state to gaseous state without forming any liquid. While sand does not undergo such conversion.

Camphor is considered as a sublimable component while sand is a non-sublimable component.
Therefore, both these components can be separated by sublimation, where camphor will get vapourised while sand will be left behind.
