Solution

The correct option is B different size
If the size of the particle is too small to be picked by hand then sieving is used for separating substances. A sieve having pores of certain size is used. The bigger particles are retained by the sieve whereas the smaller particle are passed through it. For example, this method is used for separating bran from flour, sand from gravel, pearls of different sizes,etc.
