Answer:

The correct answer is - option A.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of the solvent in a solution into the higher concentration are of solute through the semipermeable membrane such as cell membranes.

The movement of the solvent (water) through a semipermeable membrane is always from a high water conentration to a low water concentration. Solute molecules do not move through a  semipermeable membrane during the osmosis process
