The answer would be that CELL 1 will have the fastest rate of diffusion.

*In terms of length, height, and width, cell 1 is the smallest among the three which makes it have the fastest rate of diffusion. As the cell gets bigger, its surface-to-volume ratio decreases (inversely) which will result to make diffusion less efficient for them.
