Solution

The correct option is B Osmosis
Osmosis is defined as the movement of solvent (water) molecules from a region of their high concentration (less concentrated solution) to a region of their low concentration (more concentrated solution) through a semipermeable membrane. In osmosis water is flowing down its concentration gradient, which is opposite to the concentration gradient of the solute.
