Answer: c). filteration

Step-by-step explanation:

Filteration can be define as a process by which mixtures containing solids, liquids and gases are separated into individual forms.

Soil is an agregate of solid, liquid and gas molecules. The large and small sized soil particles can be separated by the process of filteration using a suitable sieve or mesh. Also the soil can be separated from water by using the same procedure. The soil particles will remian in the mesh and the water get seep down from the mesh.

based on the scenario, the technique of separation that John use is : C. Filtration
This method usually used to separate solid substance that got mixed within a liquid substance (in this case, separate soil from water)

hope this helps
