The correct choice is (c) gel filtration

To explain I would say: The method for determining molecular weight based on the size is gel filtration. Ultracentrifugation is method that determines the molecular weight based on the sedimentation rate of particles. Mass spectrometry is a method to determine molecular weight based on the charge to mass ratio. Biosensor is an analytical device which converts a biological response into an electrical signal.
