Sugar from a sugar solution can be separated by the process of B) By evaporation.

Here's how it works:

Evaporation: When you have a sugar solution, such as sugar dissolved in water, you can separate the sugar from the water by heating the solution. As you heat the solution, the water will start to evaporate, leaving behind the sugar crystals. The sugar will remain in the container as solid crystals after the water has completely evaporated.
The other options are not suitable for separating sugar from a sugar solution:

A) Distillation: Distillation is a process used to separate substances based on their different boiling points. Sugar and water have very close boiling points, making distillation inefficient for separating them.

C) Sublimation: Sublimation is the process of a substance transitioning directly from a solid to a gas (or vice versa) without passing through the liquid phase. Sugar does not readily sublime under normal conditions, so this method is not applicable for sugar separation.

D) Filtration: Filtration is used to separate solid particles from a liquid or gas by passing the mixture through a filter medium. However, sugar in a sugar solution is already dissolved in the liquid and doesn't form solid particles that can be separated by filtration.
