Solution

The correct option is B centripetal force
Very fine solid particles can be separated from the mixture using centrifugation. Particles of different densities or sizes in a suspension will sediment at different rates, with the larger and denser particles sedimenting faster. These sedimentation rates can be increased by using centrifugal force.
