Solution

The correct option is D handpicking
Peanuts can be separated from a mixture of peanuts and corn by handpicking. This is because the given mixture is a solid -solid mixture and the size, shape and colour of peanut is different from corn. However, sedimentation, filtration and distillation are techniques used for solid-liquid mixtures.
