Answer:

D) magnetic attraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Mixture consists of sulfur powder and iron filings . The former is non magnetic and the later is magnetic material . The best way to separate them is to use a magnet . This method is called magnetic separation method . A magnet will attract the iron filling but the sulfur will remain un-attracted . Thus, the two will get separated from each other.
