Solution

The correct option is B DecantationSedimentationEvaporation
The correct flow is :
SedimentationDecantationEvaporation
In the process of separation of components of a mixture containing sand and sugar, we mix water in the mixture so that the sugar gets dissolved in the mixture whereas the sand does not. Using the process of decantation, sand is separated out from the mixture. Furthermore, with the process of evaporation, water is allowed to evaporate leaving sugar behind.
