sorting
B
evaporation
C
distillation

Distillation is best for separating a mixture of two liquids because they usually have different boiling points. The liquid with the lower boiling point evaporates first, then its vapor is cooled and collected. Filtration separates solids from liquids, and sorting is used for visible solid pieces.
