Solution

The correct option is A Decantation
The process of separating the lighter liquid, by tilting and removing it to another vessel is decantation. It is used to separate a mixture of two liquids in which one is lighter than the other. Petrol being lighter forms a layer above the water. It can be decanted off to separate these two layers.
