Solution

The correct option is D

Both A and B


Membranes which does not allow any substance to pass through them are called impermeable. Semi- permeable membranes allow only solvent molecules to pass through them. Selectively permeable membranes allow solvent and selective solute molecules to pass through them. Hence, both semi- permeable as well as selectively permeable membranes allow solvent molecules to pass through them.
