Answer 1

Answer: The answer is B fractional distillation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Individual components of a mixture can be separated out by a number of methods. These are:

gravity separation: If the various components of the mixture have different gravity, they will form different layers (when shaken and allowed to settle). This way they can be separated out.

Filtration: Particles of different
