Solution

The correct option is C Osmosis
Osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane towards a higher concentration of solute (lower concentration of solvent). It occurs in terms of water. So the passive absorption of mineral salts is not dependent on osmosis.
So the correct answer is 'Osmosis'.
