Solution

The correct option is C Flow of solution is not possible through semipermeable membrane
Osmosis is defined as the flow of solvent molecules from a region of their higher concentration to a region of their lower concentration across a semipermeable membrane. Osmosis does not explains movement of solute particles or solution.
