Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Desalination can be accomplished through two main processes: distillation and reverse osmosis. Distillation involves heating saltwater until it evaporates and then collecting the condensed, purified water. Reverse osmosis works by forcing saltwater through a membrane that filters out the salt and other impurities. While salt-eating bacteria do exist, they are not a practical or efficient method for large-scale desalination. Therefore, the best choice is D, which includes both distillation and reverse osmosis.
