Solution

The correct option is A Sublimation
The process in which a substance goes directly from solid-state to gaseous state on absorbing heat is called sublimation.

Since, only naphthalene sublimates and common salt does not, this mixture can be separated by sublimation. On heating, naphthalene converts to vapours while common salt is left behind.
