Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The supernatant is the clear liquid present above the material deposited by sedimentation or settling or precipitation, or centrifugation. Here, we let the suspension stand still for some time to get the clear liquid separated and the heavy particles to settle down. The heavy particles that settle down are called sediment, and the clear liquid above the sediment is called supernatant.
