Osmosis is the movement of ____ through the cell membrane.
A
Salt
B
Proteins
C
Water
D
Nutrients
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The movement of water molecule from a region of higher concentration to a region of its lower concentration through a semi permeable membrane is called Osmosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Water moves across cell membranes by diffusion, in a process known as osmosis. Osmosis refers specifically to the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane, with the solvent (water, for example) moving from an area of low solute (dissolved material) concentration to an area of high solute concentration.

Detailed explanation-3: -In biology, osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a solution with a high concentration of water molecules to a solution with a lower concentration of water molecules, through a cell’s partially permeable membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -Osmosis is the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane according to the concentration gradient of water across the membrane, which is inversely proportional to the concentration of solutes.
