Answer;

A. if water moves into a cell by osmosis it is moving into an area of higher solute concentration.

Step-by-step explanation;

-Movement of water from a dilute to a more concentrated solution through a partially (semi) permeable membrane that allows the passage of water but not solute molecules is called osmosis.

-Osmosis describes the movement of water (not the solute) across a selectively permeable membrane until there is an equal concentration of water and solute on both sides of the membrane.
