Solution

The correct option is B

filtrate


The explanation for the correct answer- (B) Filtrate

Filtration – The process by which the insoluble or suspended particles of a mixture are separated from the liquid by using a porous membrane called a filter is called filtration.

For example – the separation of sand and clay particles from water by passing it through a filter paper.

The explanation for the incorrect answer-

(A) Residue - The solid or insoluble component left in the filter is called the residue.

(C) Sediments - The solid or insoluble particles that settle down at the bottom at the end of sedimentation are called sediments.

Hence, option (B) is correct. The clear liquid obtained after filtration is called the filtrate.
