Best answer
Right choice is (a) Evaporative crystallization

To explain I would say: Forced circulation crystallizers are evaporative crystallizers. They create a super saturated solution by evaporating solvent of the saturated solution. The solute of this supersaturated solution cools down, thus forming the crystals.
