Solution

The correct option is A
Blood

Centrifugation can be used to separate solid particles from the liquid.

In case of salt water, sugar water and air no solid particles exist for them to accumulate at the bottom of the test tube.

Blood is made up of cells (solid particles) suspended in plasma (liquid), so centrifugation can be used in this case.
