A
distillation
B
chromatography
C
filtration
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Paper chromatography is used to separate mixtures of soluble substances. These are often coloured substances such as food colourings, inks, dyes or plant pigments.

Detailed explanation-2: -To get the process started, the mixture is dissolved in a substance called the mobile phase, which carries it through a second substance called the stationary phase. The different components of the mixture travel through the stationary phase at different speeds, causing them to separate from one another.

Detailed explanation-3: -chromatography, technique for separating the components, or solutes, of a mixture on the basis of the relative amounts of each solute distributed between a moving fluid stream, called the mobile phase, and a contiguous stationary phase.
