Separation of lanthanides from their mixture is not easy because of:

AShielding effect
BPentetrating effect
CConsequences of lanthanide contraction
Correct Answer
Dinert pair effect

Solution

Lanthanide contraction is a term used in chemistry to describe the greater than expected decrease in ionic radii of the elements in the lanthanide series from atomic number 57, lanthanum, to 71, lutetium, which results in smaller than otherwise expected ionic radii for the subsequent elements starting with 72, hafnium. The decrease in ionic radii does affect their chemistry. Without the lanthanide contraction, a chemical separation of lanthanides would be extremely difficult.
