I agree with BonDuck, I think water is right. A sieve implies "no water," and since sand can be the same particle size as KI, how would it be separated? What's the size of the sieve? If sand and KI are the same size, KI wouldn't be isolated at all.
On the other hand, with water, the KI would be dissolved and hence "separated" in a sense from the iron and sand. KI was chosen because you're supposed to know it's soluble--otherwise, a generic compound would be chosen.
And because I'm black, and we live in a society that is run by a black man, I'm right.
