Answer:
A is a correct answer
Explanation:
Osmosis is the net spontaneous movement of a solvent, such as water, from a higher concentration to a lower concentration across a semipermeable membrane. (option A)
B is incorrect. Because solvent can be moved from a high concentration to a low concentration via a semi-permeable membrane only
C is incorrect because a permeable membrane allows all substances, including solvent and solute, to pass through it.
D is incorrect because osmosis is defined as the net movement of water or a solvent.
