Answer 2

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Because osmosis(B) this is where water moves from a high concentration to a low concentration across a partially permiable membrane( No energy required). Whereas in diffusion (a) this is the net movement of particles from a region of a high concentration to a region of a low concentration. This stops when the region is evenly spread. (No energy is required)
