A Correct answer
Explanation

P - It is filtration method which is used to separate suspended particles from water. Q - A separating funnel is used in liquid-liquid extractions to separate (partition) the components of a mixture into two immiscible solvent phases of different densities. R - It is distillation method which is used to separate a mixture of NaCl and water.
