Solution

Salt can be obtained from seawater by evaporation.
Evaporation is the process of converting water into water vapor.
The process of evaporation is used to recover a solid component that has dissolved in water or some other liquid.
Seawater has common salt dissolved in it, in order to separate common salt from seawater, seawater is trapped in shallow pools and is left in the sun for a long.
Evaporates all the water leaving the salts behind.
Hence Evaporation is the method to obtain salt from seawater.
