D Correct answer
Explanation

Adsorption chromatography has many applications. Generally, it is used for determining the concentration of a compound (or its purity), separating out a mixture into individual componentsseperation of isomers, and identifying what is in a mixture and seperate on the basis of solubility also. There are three main types of adsorption chromatography - column, thin layer, and gas-solid.
