Solution

The correct option is B Endosmosis
A cell having low water concentration than the surrounding medium means the cell possesses high solute concentration. Also, surrounding medium possesses less solute concentration and high water concentration. Such, solution is said to be hypotonic. In such case, the water molecules move from outside to the inside of the cell through the cell membrane. This process is called as endosmosis.
So, the correct answer is 'Endosmosis'
