Answer:

particle size

Step-by-step explanation:

Filtration is process of separating a mixture. The separation occurs by passing the mixture through a medium. Through this medium a component of the mixture will be blocked. This separates the components of the mixture. The component that has particle size less than the medium's particles passes through the rest does not pass through.
