The answer is "A. a pure substance can be separated by chemical means, while a mixture can be separated by physical means". A pure substance only has one type of substance, whereas a mixture has more than one. A pure substance therefore, can only be separated chemically, because it is not two things mixed together, whereas a mixture can be separated physically because there are multiple substances.
