Evaporation is recommended. Firstly, put salt and sand into water and stir well to dissolve the salt. 
Secondly, filter out the sand from the salt solution using a filter funnel and filter paper. 
Thirdly, place the beaker of salt solution on a Bunsen burner until it evaporates fully and only salt crystals are left. 
Lastly, heat the salt crystals and sand until it is dry.
So A is the best answer.
