Answer:

Option C. Cellular transport that does not require cellular energy, is the correct statement.

Explanation:

Movement of molecules requires energy for transportation from one place to another.

Passive transport is a type of transport in which molecules moves from one place to another without the use of energy. In passive transport, one molecule pulls another molecule and as a result the molecule moves from one region to another.
