Solution

The correct option is D Separating funnel
Separating funnel is an effective apparatus used to separate immiscible liquids by taking advantage of their unequal density. When the mixture of two immiscible liquids is allowed to stand, two separate layers are formed in the funnel, with the less dense layer on the top.
