Which best describes the function of a centrifuge?to separate the solute from the solventto separate the dissolved part of a solution into layersto separate a mixture by heating it for a long period of timeto separate the undissolved particles of a mixture into layers

The correct answer is the last statement. Centrifugation is to separate the undissolved particles of a mixture into layers. It separates a homogeneous mixture by spinning it at high speeds. The precipitate settles at the bottom while the solution is clear.
