Solution

The correct options are
A gravity separation
B Levigation
C hydraulic washing
Gravity separation/ Levigation/Hydraulic washing. All these methods are based on the difference in densities of the metallic ore and gangue particles. Powdered ore is treated with a stream of running water when the lighter gangue particles are washed away and heavier ore particles are left behind. In leaching a suitable reagent (not water) dissolves the ore and not the impurities.Thus leaching is a chemical method of separation/ concentratlon of the ore from impurities.
