Answer: C. Sedimentation and Decantation

Since Substance X is made of "medium size particles" and is heavier than the liquid Substance Y, it will settle at the bottom over time (Sedimentation). Once settled, the clear liquid Y can be poured out into another container (Decantation), effectively separating the two.
