Correct answer: B. Osmosis
- A. Deffusion
- B. Osmosis
- C. Active transport
- D. None of these
Explanation
Osmosis is the net movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane from higher water potential to lower water potential. Diffusion is a broader term for particle movement and does not specifically require water crossing a membrane, so students may choose a.
