Solution

The correct option is B Chromatography
The process of separating ink is a simple science experiment. It can be useful in identifying unknown solutions as well. Through the submersion of chromatography paper into water, any sample of ink can be separated into its respective cyan, magenta, and yellow components. The water causes the ink molecules to "travel" up the paper strip. Depending on the mass of the molecule, various pigments will travel faster than others, causing the separation.
Hence, the correct option is B.
