Answer:

B;diffusion gradient in Cell B is greater than in cell A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, Cell B is actively converting oxygen into water in cellular respiration. The oxygen will diffuse more rapidly in Cell B than cell A because the diffusion gradient in Cell B is greater than in cell A.

Diffusion gradient is the difference in the concentration of substance between two areas is concentration gradient.
