Solution

The correct option is D Centrifugation
Centrifugation is used to dry clothes in the washing machine. During the spin cycle, your wet clothes and the water are the two substances that the washing machine centrifuge is trying to separate.
So, it spins quickly, producing a force that moves outward from its centre. This centrifugal force pulls your clothes toward the edges of the washing machine, which are often covered in small holes.
Once pressed against the sides of the machine, the force then draws the water out of your clothes. This is why you will often find all of your clothes mashed up against the sides of the washer when you go to take them out.
