Solution

The correct option is B Osmosis
Osmosis is a special type of diffusion. Osmosis is defined as the movement of solvent (water in living systems) particles/ molecules from a region of their higher concentration (more dilute solution) to a region of their lower concentration (more concentrated solution), through a semipermeable membrane.
