Solution

The correct option is C Nitrogen
The liquid air is allowed to warm-up slowly in a fractional distillation column, where gases get separated at different heights depending upon their boiling points. Liquid nitrogen having the boiling point of 196oC boils to form liquid nitrogen gas and is collected from the upper part of the column.
