Best answer
The correct choice is (c) Filtration

The best I can explain: Filtration separates simply on the basis of particle size and does not cause enzyme inactivation. Oxidation, denaturants, irreversible inhibitors, heat, proteolysis, sub-optimal pH, loss of cofactors or coenzymes etc., causes enzyme inactivation.
