C
Semipermeable membrane
D
All of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The dialyzer, or filter, has two parts, one for your blood and one for a washing fluid called dialysate. A thin membrane separates these two parts. Blood cells, protein and other important things remain in your blood because they are too big to pass through the membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -In addition, dialyzers are internationally classified into three types: low-flux, high-flux, and protein-leaking.

Detailed explanation-3: -The dialyzer has two compartments that are separated by a semipermeable membrane. While the blood is in the blood compartment, undesirable substances in the blood pass through the semipermeable membrane into the dialysate in the dialysate compartment.
