Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.
A
diffusion
B
osmosis
C
passive transport
D
exocytosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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: -Semipermeable membranes, also termed selectively permeable membranes or partially permeable membranes, allow certain molecules or ions to pass through by diffusion. While diffusion transports materials across membranes and within cells, osmosis transports only water across a membrane.
