The correct option is D
DOOD

Movement of water molecules along their concentration gradient through a selectively permeable membrane is known as osmosis whereas diffusion is the net passive movement of particles (atoms, ions or molecules) from a region in which they are in higher concentration to regions of lower concentration. Water is taken from osmosis and gaseous exchange is by diffusion.
