Anthracene is typically purified by the process of crystallization. Crystallization involves dissolving the impure anthracene in a suitable solvent at an elevated temperature and then allowing it to cool slowly. As the solution cools, the anthracene will start to crystallize out of the solution, leaving impurities behind in the liquid phase. The purified anthracene crystals can then be separated from the liquid and further dried to obtain a highly pure product.

So, the correct answer is A. Crystallization.
