Water! All the iron would just stick with the sand and the salt wouldn't go anywhere.

Screen is your answer!

The magnet would pick up the iron filings

The water would mix with the salt

The sand would go through the filter paper

The screen is the only option that wouldn't have an effect on any of the given materials!

Hope this helps
