To get salt out of a solution, we could use ____
A
filtration
B
distillation
C
decantation
D
mechanical separation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Separate Salt and Water Using Distillation. You can boil or evaporate the water and the salt will be left behind as a solid. If you want to collect the water, you can use distillation. This works because salt has a much higher boiling point than water.

Detailed explanation-2: -So, the technique used for the separation of salt from its solution is evaporation.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are several ways to remove salt from water. Reverse osmosis and distillation are the most common ways to desalinate water. Reverse osmosis water treatment pushes water through small filters leaving salt behind. Distillation on a large scale involves boiling water and collecting water vapor during the process.
