The correct option is A True
Decantation is the process of separation of liquid from solid and other immiscible liquids, by removing the liquid layer at the top from the layer of solid or liquid below.
Tea leaves are solid and milk is liquid.
Therefore, the mixture of tea leaves and milk can be separated by decantation.
Hence the given statement is true.
