Answer»

Correct answer is (a) Packed

To elaborate: Packed Beds. Although packed bed columns are used most often for ABSORPTION, they are also used for the distillation of vapor-liquid mixtures. The packing provides a LARGE SURFACE area for vapor-liquid contact, which increases the column’s EFFECTIVENESS.
