mechanical separation
which of these separation techniques is best suited for separating sand and water?
distillation
filtration
magnetism
chromatography

Explanation:

Filtration separates insoluble solids (like sand) from liquids (like water) using a porous barrier that lets the liquid pass through while trapping the solid. Distillation works for separating liquids with different boiling points, magnetism targets magnetic materials, and chromatography separates components in a solution based on different movement rates, none of which fit sand and water.

Answer:

filtration
