Correct option 2) Separation of particles based on charge

Electrophoresis is a technique used to separate particles based on their charge. Charged particles in a solution will move towards an electrode of opposite charge when an electric field is applied, and the rate of movement is dependent on the magnitude of the electric field, the size of the particles, and the viscosity of the medium.

Electrophoresis is a separation technique based on the principle of movement of charged particles in an electric field.
