Answer»

Correct answer is (C) electric field

Explanation: Polyacrylamide gel ELECTROPHORESIS (PAGE) is a powerful technique that uses electric field to separate out PROTEINS in a matrix. SMALL organic MOLECULES of acrylamide are cross-linked to form a molecular sieve through which the proteins travel.
