Solution

The correct option is C
Winnowing

The weight of husk is greater than rice. Hence, winnowing is used. Winnowing is the method in which heavier components of the mixture are separated from the lighter substances with the help of wind. When poured, the heavier components fall down while the lighter ones fly aside with the wind.
