Answer : The correct option is, (C) Filtration.

Explanation :

Chromatography : It is a type of separation process in which the liquid or gas is separated into components at different rate.

Distillation : It is a type of separation process in which the mixture of liquid separated or evaporated at different temperatures.

Filtration : It is a type of mechanical separation process in which the solid is separated from the liquid through the filter paper.

Fragmentation : It is a type of process where the molecular ion breaks into the smaller ions or smaller radicals or neutral molecules.

Condensation : It is a type of process in which the phase changes from gaseous state to liquid state at constant temperature.

Hence, the correct option is, (C) Filtration.
