Solution

The correct option is B sedimentation
Sedimentation is a process in which the liquid is separated from the insoluble solid particles.
In this process, the mixture of liquid and insoluble solid is placed in a container. Due to the gravity, the heavier solid particles get settled at the bottom of the container. These solid particles are called sediment.
