I don't know what you did in the experiment. Did you mix Al + CuSO4? If you would have produced Cu and that would be collect in the filter paper. I don't know where the NaCl may have come from AND I may have guessed wrong. It may have been a different experiment. I'm just trying to figure what was done from the choices in the answer.
