Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

See on left side there are more particles on comparing to right side

  • The concentration of solute is more on left side
  • So as diffusion has to happen then the molecules will move from left to right

Because there is a higher concentration of solute on the left side of the membrane. For example since salt is solute, it will draw the water to that desired direction, therefore resulting in the water molecules moving to the left. Hope this helped! :!
