A cell needs to take up K+ ions, the concentration of Nat outside the cell is 100 ppm, and inside the cell it is 75 ppm. Which type of transport will it use?

The cell will use what is known as Active Transport

Active transport is used when a cell is moving against it's concentration gradient. That means it's going from less energy inside to more energy on the outside.
