Solution
The correct options are
A diffusion
B brownian motion
Diffusion refers to the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. It occurs in liquids and gases because the molecules are in constant random motion. When a perfume is sprayed in one corner of a room, or the fumes from a cooking vessel are released, then, being gaseous in nature, the molecules travel quickly through the entire room and the smell spreads throughout the room. This process is called diffusion.
Diffusion is a process by which the molecules intermingle as a result of their kinetic energy and random motion. These molecules are in constant motion making numerous collisions.
