Options:

Immiscible liquids separate out in layers depending on their densities.

Immiscible liquids separate out in layers depending on their volumes.

immiscible liquids separate out in layers depending on their masses.

immiscible liquids separate out in layers depending on their specific gravity.

Correct Answer:

Immiscible liquids separate out in layers depending on their densities.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1. Immiscible liquids separate out in layers depending on their densities.

Principle of separating a mixture of two immiscible liquids is immiscible liquids separate out in layers depending on their densities.

Applications

To separate mixture of oil and water. As density of oil is less than water, it will remain at top and bottom layer is formed by water.

In the extraction of iron from its ore, the lighter slag is removed from the top by this method to leave the molten iron at the bottom in the furnace.
