Solution

The correct option is A centrifugation
The principle of centrifugation is that the denser particles are forced to the bottom and the lighter particles stay at the top, when spun rapidly.

For obtaining cream from milk, the milk is rotated at a very high speed in a centrifuge. In this way, the denser particles (skim milk) settle at the bottom and the lighter ones (cream) form top layer.
