Answer:

The correct answer is c. Distillation

Step-by-step explanation:

The volatility of a substance refers to the tendency to vaporize. The more volatility, more readily the substance vaporizes and passes from liquid state to gas state.

From the options, the only operation that separes substances by their tendency to vaporize is distillation. In distillation, evaporation and condensation processes at different temperatures are used to separe miscible liquid substances.

Therefore, the correct option is c. Distillation
