Correct Answer: chlorination
Solution : The correct option is chlorination .
Iron and manganese are prevalent contaminants in water sources, and chlorination alone is usually ineffective in removing them. Chlorination is generally used to disinfect water by killing bacteria and diseases. While it can oxidise some dissolved metals, such as iron and manganese, it may not result in their total removal or successful treatment.
