b. distillation
c. chromatography

Distillation because both have different boiling points. Actually, a fraction distilation can be done.

b
because you were given the information that they have different boiling points, and distillation uses that differences for separation
besides, you can't filter one liquid out of another, and although you can separate these two components with liquid-chromotagraphy, the question is, "How would you separate", and chromographic separation is normally used only as an analytical technique
