Solution

The correct option is B Diffusion
When substances such as perfume are let loose in a room, their particles mix with the air. These particles are free to move quickly in all directions. They spread throughout the room. This property is called diffusion. This is why Ankita could smell the perfume by standing at the other corner as well.
