The statement that is true about distillation is:

It may leave some chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides in the water.

Distillation works by boiling water to create steam and then cooling the steam to collect clean water. While it is effective at removing many impurities, certain volatile chemicals, including some herbicides and pesticides, may vaporize with the water and not be removed.
