A) Chiral liquid chromatography can separate enantiomers based on their different interactions with a chiral stationary phase, allowing for the identification of each enantiomer separately.
D) Polarimetry measures the rotation of plane-polarized light by enantiomers, which can differ in direction and magnitude. This technique can therefore be used to distinguish between enantiomers. 
B) Mass spectrometry and C) NMR can provide information on the molecular weight and structure of a molecule, but do not necessarily differentiate between enantiomers.
