Answer:

A) it is moving down the concentration gradient

Step-by-step explanation:

Brownian motion will cause the molecules (or ions) to spread/diffuse from where they are more concentrated to where they are less concentrated until they are equally distributed in that space (Figure). When molecules move in this way, they are said to move down their concentration gradient.
