• A. Rutile
• B. Galena
• C. Chromite
• D. Siderite

Hint:

Magnetic separation is used for minerals that are magnetically susceptible. Non-magnetic minerals, such as galena, cannot be separated using this technique.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Rutile, Chromite, and Siderite are all minerals that can be subjected to magnetic separation. 
- Galena, however, is a non-magnetic mineral and cannot be separated by this metho(D) 
Conclusion: Galena is not subjected to magnetic separation because it is not magneti(C)
