Solution

The correct option is C
active transport

The process by which water particles move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane is called osmosis, but movement of water particles across the concentration gradient ie., from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration requires energy and is hence called an active transport.
