Solution

The correct option is A Movement of solvent molecules from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration through a semipermeable membrane
Osmosis is a phenomenon where pure water flows from a dilute solution through a semi-permeable membrane to a higher concentrated solution a region of lower concentration.

Semi-permeable means that the membrane will allow small molecules and ions to pass through it but acts as a barrier to larger molecules or dissolved substances.
Hence, the option A is correct.
