What is levigation?

  1. Mixing two liquids

  2. Adding liquid to aid the grinding process

  3. Evaporating a solvent from a solution

  4. Freezing a liquid mixture

The correct answer is: Adding liquid to aid the grinding process

Levigation is the process of adding liquid to a powder or solid substance during grinding to aid in the process. It is commonly used in pharmacy and chemistry to help break down and mix substances evenly. Option A, mixing two liquids, is not the process of levigation as it involves solids being added to liquids. Option C, evaporating a solvent from a solution, is incorrect as levigation involves adding a liquid, not removing it. Option D, freezing a liquid mixture, is also incorrect as levigation involves the use of liquid, not freezing.
