Answer:

A) Channel Protein

Step-by-step explanation:

Channel proteins span the membrane and make hydrophilic tunnels across it, allowing their target molecules to pass through by diffusion.

Channels are very selective and will accept only one type of molecule to transport

A channel protein, a type of transport protein, acts like a pore in the membrane that lets water molecules or small ions through quickly.
