Solution

The correct option is C retention factor
The relative adsorption of each constituent of the mixture is expressed in terms of retention factor or retardation factor, i.e., $R_{f}$ .

$R_{f}$ depends on:
i) nature of the substance
ii) nature of the solvent
iii) nature of the filter paper used
iv) temperature

$R_{f} = \frac{D i s t a n c e t r a v e l l e d b y s o l u t e}{D i s t a n c e t r a v e l l e d b y s o l v e n t}$

Option B is correct.
