Solution

The correct option is B Semipermeable membrane
Permeable membranes are those which allow solvents and solutes, such as ions and molecules, to pass through them.
Semipermeable membranes are those which only allow solvents, such as water, pass through them.
Impermeable membrane is one through which no substance can pass.
Selectively permeable membranes are membranes that, in addition to allowing the passage of solvents, allows specific solutes pass through while blocking others.
Thus, the correct option is C.
