    The correct answer is ice cold isopropanol.

    Explanation:

    Any compound in the initial stage is first dissolved in any suitable solvent and is heated for a certain duration for the process of recrystallization. Afterward, the compound is kept at room temperature so that it gets cooled gradually. In the process, the impurities remain dissolved in the solvent and the pure compound gets separated in the form of a precipitate.

    Post all this, the filtration of the pure compound is done and is then washed with the cold solvent, which was initially used to dissolve the compound. Therefore, the appropriate solvent to use in the process is ice-cold isopropanol.
