Aselective freezing and melting
Bprecipitating one part with a reagent
Cselective boiling and condensation
Dfiltering through a fine membrane
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. selective boiling and condensation
Distillation boils the mixture selectively and then condenses the vapours, so components separate by how easily they vaporise.
