Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

Solvent extraction, also known as liquid-liquid extraction, is a technique used to separate substances based on their differential solubilities in two immiscible liquids. In this case, since iodine and tetrachloromethane have different solubilities in certain solvents, you can use solvent extraction to selectively dissolve one of the substances while leaving the other behind. Iodine is a non-polar molecule, while tetrachloromethane is a polar molecule. This means that iodine will dissolve in a non-polar solvent, while tetrachloromethane will dissolve in a polar solvent
