A
photosynthesis
B
cellular respiration
C
active transport
D
diffusion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct option is B Diffusion. Diffusion is a physical process where molecules of a material move from an area of high concentration (where there are many molecules) to an area of low concentration (where there are fewer molecules).

Detailed explanation-2: -Diffusion: Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration. The overall effect is to equalize concentration throughout the medium.

Detailed explanation-3: -1: Osmosis: In osmosis, water always moves from an area of higher water concentration to one of lower concentration. In the diagram shown, the solute cannot pass through the selectively permeable membrane, but the water can.
