Best answer

The correct option is: (b) sublimation

Explanation:

Sublimation method is used for those organic substances which pass directly from solid to vapour state on heating and vice-versa on cooling. e.g. benzoic acid, naphthalene, camphor, anthracene, etc. Naphthalene is volatile and benzoic acid is non-volatile due to the formation of the dimer.
