Solution
The correct option is A Cupellation
Cupellation is a process of separation of gold or silver from impurities by melting the impure metal in a cupel (a flat porous dish made of refractory or high-temperature resistant material ) and then directing a blast of hot air on it in a special furnace. The impurities, including lead,copper, tin, and other unwanted metals, are oxidized and partly vaporized and partly absorbed into the pores of the cupel.
