As we have learnt,

 

Liquation -

In this method, a low melting metal like a tin can be made to flow on a sloping surface. In this way, it is separated from higher melting impurities.

-

Liquation, a technique for separating constituents of ore, a metal or an alloy by partial melting. When the material is heated to a temperature where one of the constituents melts and the other remains solid, the liquid constituent can be drained off. 

 

Therefore, Option(3) is correct.
