Best answer
Correct answer is (b) Oil industry

Explanation: In the food industry, floatation is used in the separation of small particles of fat from water. The air dissolved in water under pressure produces the froth. When the pressure suddenly released, the air comes out of solution in the form of bubbles which rise and carry the fat with them to surface.
