Answer 1

D. Evaporating, condensing, collecting

Step-by-step explanation:

The mixture is first heated so that the liquid needed to be collected can be evaporated into gas. Then, the gas is condensed back to liquid in a condenser. (usually the condenser is supplied with cold running water so speed up the condensation). Then, the liquid is collected after being condensed, in an apparatus such as a conical flask or a water bath.
