Solution

The correct option is B
False

Threshing is the process of loosening the edible part of grain (or other crop) from the husks and straw to which it is attached, but in this case, it cannot be used. As we know that the sand and dried leaves have large difference in their weight and the dried leaves can be flown out by air. So this given mixture can be separated by winnowing.
