Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Osmosis is the phenomenon of flow of pure solvent from the solvent to the solution or from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution through a semipermeable membrane. Common semipermeable membranes are permeable to certain solute particles also. Infact, there is no perfect semipermeable membrane. Therefore we can say that flow of water through a semipermeable membrane takes place both sides with unequal rates.
