   While exploring an uncharted subterranean cavern, a geomancer gathers several fluid samples and attempts to separate their components using only gravitational settling followed by careful pouring.

Which of the following mixtures can be successfully separated using this decanting technique?

   • A) A luminescent crystalline salt that has completely dissolved into warm spring water
   • B) Two miscible botanical spirits that blend seamlessly into a uniform, single liquid phase
   • C) Coarse, heavy crushed meteor dust that has settled entirely to the bottom of a flask of liquid resin
   • D) A cloudy emulsion of microscopic oil droplets permanently suspended throughout sweet nectar
