Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation: The phenomenon of diffusion is used for the transfer of smaller and non polar molecules across the membrane. The movement takes place from the higher concentration towards lower concentration.

The movement of the glucose across the membrane is not possible as it is large molecule that cannot pass through the membrane.
