Solution

The correct option is C Osmotic pressure
The movement of water from high to low concentration results in the decrease in the amount of water from the area from where water is transferred. The pressure which is just sufficient to stop the flow of solvent from the weaker solution to the concentrated solution through a selectively permeable membrane is termed as osmotic pressure.
