    Liquation method.
  • B
    Distillation method.
  • Oxidation method.
  • D
    None of these.

Answer

Correct option: C.
Oxidation method.
Oxidation process refers to a set of chemical treatment procedures designed to remove organic and inorganic materials in water and waste water by oxidation through reactions by hydroxyl ions.
Oxidation method is used when impurities are easily oxidisable. For example, lead as an impurity in silver is removed by heating, the impurity is easily oxidised to $\text{PbO}$ and removed by air.
