Solution
The correct option is C
(A) and (D)
The explanation for the correct option
The given diagram shows a separating funnel. It is used to separate two immiscible liquids (Do not mix). Thus, A and B are immiscible liquids.
When a mixture of two immiscible liquids is put in a separating funnel and left untouched for short time, then the mixture form two layers with denser liquid at the bottom and a lighter layer on the top.
In the diagram, liquid B is at the bottom and liquid A is at the top. Thus, liquid B is denser than liquid A.
