(N/A) Crystallisation is preferred because:
$1$. Some solids decompose or get charred (e.g.,sugar) upon heating to dryness during evaporation.
$2$. Some impurities may remain dissolved in the solution even after evaporation,which contaminates the solid product. Crystallisation helps in obtaining a purer form of the solid.
