- BThin layer chromatography
- CColumn chromatography
- DAdsorption chromatography
Correct answer
A. Partition chromatography
Step-by-step solution
Paper chromatography is an example of partition chromatography in which liquid present in the pores of paper is stationary phase and some other liquid is movable phase. The principle involved is partition chromatography wherein the substances are distributed or partitioned between liquid phases. One phase is the water, which is held in the pores of the filter paper used; and other is the mobile phase which moves over the paper.
