Detailed explanation-1: -osmosis. The correct option is D. Explanation of correct option: Osmosis is a simple diffusion process. The process of spontaneous net flow of solvent molecules from a selectively permeable membrane into a region of high solute concentration is referred to as osmosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -A selectively-permeable membrane is a membrane that allows only some substances and molecules to pass into or leave the cell. An example of a selectively-permeable membrane is the cell membrane. It allows the passage of only certain types of molecules through diffusion and occasionally by facilitated diffusion.
Detailed explanation-3: -Osmosis and diffusion are the two types of passive transport which play a vital role in moving molecules in and out of the cell.
