Solution

The correct options are
B Sedimentation
C Decantation
When a mixture of two liquids is left undisturbed for a while, the two layers can be distinctly seen. The denser liquid settles at the bottom, and lighter one floats. This process is called sedimentation. Then the upper layer can be decanted without disturbing the sediment (bottom layer). Thus, two immiscible liquids get separated.
