Correct Option: A

Chromatography is the separation technique used to separate different pigments in a mixture based on their affinity for a stationary phase and a mobile phase.

The pigments are carried by the mobile phase (usually a solvent) through a stationary phase (a solid or liquid adsorbent), resulting in the separation of individual components based on their interaction with the stationary and mobile phases.
