Solution

The correct option is C Sublimation
Sublimation is defined as the process by which a substance in its solid state changes to gaseous state directly, without converting into liquid, due to increase in temperature and/or decrease in pressure.
When a mixture of salt and ammonium chloride are heated together, ammonium chloride sublimes on heating while sodium chloride (NaCl) is left as the residue.
