The methods that separate a mixture according to the size of the particles are primarily **A. Filtration and evaporation**.
- **Filtration** is a method used to separate solids from liquids or gases using a filter medium that allows only the fluid to pass through while retaining the solid particles based on their size.
- **Evaporation** is typically used to separate a solute from a solvent in a solution, but it doesn't separate based on particle size.
**Chromatography** (as mentioned in option C) is mainly used to separate components of a mixture based on their movement through a stationary phase and is not primarily based on particle size.
So, the best choice specifically focusing on particle size separation would be **A. Filtration** (with the understanding that evaporation doesn't separate by particle size).
