Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Sublimation

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(\(1\)) Sublimation : It is the purification technique based on principle that on heating, some solid substances change from solid to vapour state without passing through liquid state. (\(2\)) Distillation : It is used to separate volatile liquids from non-volatile impurities and the liquids having sufficient difference in their boiling point.
