Question
A The diffusion of water or solvent through a semipermeable membrane from a solution of a higher concentration of solutes to a solution of a lower concentration of solutes, to which the membrane is relatively impermeable, is called osmosis. B The diffusion of water or solvent through a semipermeable membrane from a solution of a lower concentration of solutes to a solution of a higher concentration of solutes, to which the membrane is relatively impermeable, is called osmosis. C The diffusion of water or solvent through an impermeable membrane from a solution of a lower concentration of solutes to a solution of a higher concentration of solutes, to which the membrane is relatively impermeable, is called osmosis. D None of the above.

In osmosis, only solvent molecules can move through a semipermeable membrane. In this process, water molecule moves from the region of its higher concentration to the region of its lower concentration. Thus, an osmosis is the diffusion of the water molecule through the semipermeable membrane.
Therefore, option A is correct.
