Solution

The correct option is C Osmosis
Osmosis is the process of diffusion of molecules from the region of higher concentration to the lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane. The cells absorb water by the process of endosmosis from its surrounding and water exits by the process of exosmosis.
So, the correct answer is option C.
