C Correct answer
Explanation

It is correct. The method of filtration is used in the process of preparing cottage cheese (paneer) in our homes. For making paneer, a few drops of lemon juice are added to milk as it boils. This gives a mixture of particles of solid paneer and a liquid. The paneer is then separated by filtering the mixture through a fine cloth or a strainer.
