Solution

The correct option is B osmosis
The soil is at a lower concentration than the root hair cells. Hence, water moves from the soil to the root hair cells by the process of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of low concentration to high concentration through a semipermeable membrane.
