Solution
The correct option is C Handpicking Handpicking is used for separation when the differences between the components are clearly visible. These differences can be in terms of colour, size and shape. Also, the particle size should be large enough to be handpicked. Since P and Q are visibly different and particles of P are large in size, they can be easily separated by handpicking.
