Correct Answer

B

Explanation

Sugar is typically separated from its impurities through the process of crystallization. During crystallization, sugar molecules are encouraged to come together and form solid crystals, while impurities remain in the liquid phase. This is a common method used in sugar refining to obtain purified sugar from raw sugar or sugar-containing solutions. The impurities are left behind in the mother liquor, and the sugar crystals can be separated and further processed as needed.
