B because osmosis is the process that doesn't require energy. Sugar molecules have nothing to do with it and neither does the type of membrane

b, because
osmosis is the process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane.
or in easier terms diffusion of water
