Solution

The correct option is A mercury
Distillation is a refining process used for the purification of volatile metals such as zinc, cadmium and mercury.
When the impure metal sample is heated, the metal component vapourises first because of low boiling point. The vapours are collected and then cooled to obtain the pure form of the metal.
