Solution
The correct options are A steam distillation. D fractional distillation. In o-nitro phenol, there is intra-molecular H-bonding, This is because of the polar nature of O-H bond that can lead to the formation H-bonds inside the same molecule. This intramolecular H-bonding results in increased solubility. it is separated by distillation process.
