Solution

The correct option is A zig-zag

According to Brownian motion, particles collide with each other and thus changes its path. This interaction between particles leads to their random motion which is also commonly known as zigzag motion. Brownian motion is a transport mechanism in which, it transfers or exchanges momentum or energy between the particles.
