A
diffusion
B
osmosis
C
facilitated diffusion
D
active transport
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Movement of molecules from their higher concentration to their lower concentration is called diffusion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Diffusion: Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration.

Detailed explanation-3: -The kinetic energy of the molecules results in random motion, causing diffusion. In simple diffusion, this process proceeds without the aid of a transport protein. It is the random motion of the molecules that causes them to move from an area of high concentration to an area with a lower concentration.
