Answer :

Particles are moving from regions of high concentration to low concentration. Hence, option A is correct.

What is diffusion?

Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Diffusion results from the random motion of molecules by which there is a net flow of matter from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.

This process can neither be stopped nor reversed. It occurs when the medium surrounding the cell has a higher water concentration than the cell.

Hence, option A is correct.
