Solution

The correct option is B evaporation
To collect salt from seawater, the seawater is collected in shallow pits or ponds near the sea-shore. These ponds are then exposed to sunlight for a few days.

The heat from the sun causes the water to evaporate, leaving behind a layer of sea salt crystals that can be harvested.

The salt crystals so obtained are collected and transported further to factories, where they are purified and packed for consumption.
