The correct option is A.

Reverse osmosis is a special type of filtration, which involves the passing of a solvent through a semi permeable membrane in the direction that is opposite to that of natural osmosis. Pressure is always used in this process to enforce separation. The method is usually used to remove ions, fine dust particles, molecules and larger particles from solvents. The method is especially popular in water treatment and purification.
