D
Electrolysis
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that a solid-liquid mixture consists of solid particles dispersed in a liquid, and the goal is to separate the solid from the liquid.
Review the common separation methods: Distillation separates liquids based on boiling points, Chromatography separates components based on their movement through a medium, and Electrolysis involves chemical decomposition using electricity.
Recognize that Filtration is a physical separation technique where the mixture is passed through a filter medium that allows the liquid to pass but retains the solid particles.
Identify that since Filtration physically separates solids from liquids without changing their chemical nature, it is the appropriate method for separating a solid-liquid mixture.
Conclude that among the given options, Filtration is the correct method for separating a solid-liquid mixture.
