Solution

The correct option is B sublimation
Sublimation is a technique that helps chemists to purify. During sublimation,upon heating, a solid substance is converted to the gas phase without passing through the liquid phase. A solid is heated under vacuum. The solid volatilizes and condenses as a purified compound on a cooled surface, a non-volatile residue of impurities is left behind.
