c) by adding a solvent and using liq-liq extraction

Explanation:

azeotrope is a liquid mixture of defined composition that boil a constant temperature and behaves as if it were formed by a single component.

when adding anhother compondent (solvent), changes the molecular interaction and eliminates the azeotropes.

then in the liquid-liquid extraction, the component of the solution distributed in inmiscibles phases are separated.
