Answer:

Water molecules from a low concentration to a high concentration through a selectively permeable membrane

Step-by-step explanation:

Osmosis is a special case of diffusion where solvent molecules move from a low concentration (in terms of solution or solute concentration) to a higher concentration through a special membrane known as semi permeable membrane. Semi permeable membrane allows movement of only solvent molecules through it and not solute particles.
