Rodgers · Answer 1

Option A. A sample of pure water is correct.

The filter separates the sand from the ocean water so the ocean water is what is left. Ocean water is a pure substance so Option A. A sample of pure water is correct.

Giancarlo Sawyer · Answer 2

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that ocean water contains salt, that is, sodium chloride which is soluble in ocean water or water.

So, when a cup with sandy ocean water is filtered then sand remains in the filter paper and we get a solution of salt in water as the filtered product.

Thus, we can conclude that Hana collect a solution of salt in water that passes through the filter.
