Solution
The correct option is C Electrophoresis Fractionation is a separation process in which a certain quantity of a mixture which is divided during a phase transition, into a number of smaller quantities. Centrifugation is a process that involves the use of the centrifugal force of the sedimentation of heterogenous mixtures with a centrifuge and used to separate two immiscible liquids.
Electrophoresis is the motion of dispersed particles relative to a fluid under the influence of a spatially uniform electric field to separate molecules. ELISA is the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay which is a test that uses antibodies and color change to identify a substance. Chromatography is a collective term for a set of laboratory techniques for the separation of mixtures.
