Osmosis is the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane.

From the given choices none of them is completely true.

Osmosis not always causes crenation.

In osmosis, solute particles do not travel through the membrane.

And water flows from a low solute concentration to a high solute concentration.

It means that the correct answer is E. none are correct.
