About filtration:

• Filtration is the process of separating solid and semisolid matter from a liquid through a medium to get the purer form of the liquid.
• So the purpose of filtration is all about getting the pure liquid. The liquid which is got from it is technically called 'filtrate'.
• So the answer is: Option A. Filtrate.
• Option B. 'Particulate matter' is the solid or liquid matter suspended in air. So this is wrong.
• Option C. 'Precipitate' is the solid matter which we get after filtering the liquid. We do no filter a liquid predominantly to get this. So it is incorrect.
• Option D. 'Slurry' is a mixture of solid and liquid which we get after filtering. We don't commonly filter to get this. It is more like a waste. So this is also wrong.
• The answer is: Option A. Filtrate.
