The correct answer is (B) To draw out (the essential part). To extract the pure essence (of something); to obtain, purify, or concentrate by, or as by, distillation. Finally, to purify liquids by evaporating with heat, condensing, and collecting as liquid.

Distill comes from Latin distillare (to drip).

Examples of use:

• He distilled his notes into two pages of formulae.
• They distill the mash to produce hard liquor.
