Solution

The correct option is C Sand and water
Filtration is a method for separating an insoluble solid from a liquid.
For example: When a mixture of sand and water is filtered, the sand stays in the filter paper (residue) the water passes through the filter paper. Rest of the solutions cannot be separated using a filter paper as milk, salt and sugar completely dissolves in water.
