The correct option is B Filtration
Filtration is a process by which insoluble solids can be
removed from a liquid by using a filter paper. A filter paper is a special type of paper which has pores
that are tiny enough to let only liquids pass through it. If you pass a solution
through filter paper, any undissolved solid particles will get left behind on
the paper whereas the liquid will filter through. The liquid that passes
through is called the filtrate and the undissolved solid particles are called
residue.
The components of the mixture are salt and sand. Salt is
soluble in water and sand is a non-water soluble substance that can be
separated by the process of filtration. The insoluble sand remains in the
filter paper while the filtrate contains the dissolved salt.
