As we have learnt,

Simple distillation is used for the separation of liquids having a significant difference in their boiling points. If the difference in the boiling points is not much, then Fractional distillation is used as the preferred method of separation.

Methanol boils at 65\degree C while acetone boils at 60\degree C.

So, for their separation, we require  Fractional Distillation.

Hence, the correct answer is Option (4)
