The most effective process to separate two liquids that have formed a solution is **heating the liquids and letting one boil away first**. This method takes advantage of the different boiling points of the liquids, allowing one to evaporate while the other remains in the solution.
The other responses, such as collecting with a spoon or passing through a filter, are not suitable for separating liquids that have dissolved into a solution. “Awaiting for the two liquids to separate” may not work if they are miscible, as they would not naturally separate out into distinct layers.
