Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\begin{array}{lll}\text { Animal } & \begin{array}{l}\text { Colouring } \\ \text { charcoal }\end{array} & \text { substance }\end{array}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Animal charcoal-Adsorbent
It adsorbs and provide numerous sites for adsorption.
Colouring substance - Adsorbate
Colouring substance attract and binds the animal charcoal on its surface and acts as absorbate.
This process is known as adsorption. In this process molecules or particles adhere to the surface of the adsorbent through physical or chemical interactions.
