The correct statement about distillation is:
**It may leave some chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides in the water.**
Distillation involves heating water to create steam, which is then condensed back into liquid water, effectively leaving many contaminants behind. However, certain volatile chemicals like some herbicides and pesticides can evaporate with the steam, potentially ending up in the distilled water, though many heavy metals and non-volatile substances are typically removed.
