The physical separation of mixtures into individual components is..
A
chromatography
B
opacity
C
latent
D
trace evidence
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -CHROMATOGRAPHY is the process of separating a mixture by the distribution of its components between two phases, one phase being stationary and the other phase moving. Some examples of chromatography are gas chromatography, paper chromatography, and thin-layer chromatography.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mixtures can be physically separated by using methods that use differences in physical properties to separate the components of the mixture, such as evaporation, distillation, filtration and chromatography.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chromatography is based on the principle where molecules in mixture applied onto the surface or into the solid, and fluid stationary phase (stable phase) is separating from each other while moving with the aid of a mobile phase.
