Solution

The correct option is C evaporation
Seawater contains large amounts of common salt. Near the sea-shore, the seawater is collected in shallow pits. In a few days, the water evaporates by absorbing heat from sunrays, leaving behind the salt. This salt is collected and further processed and purified.
