(B) Osmosis is defined as the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules (usually water) through a selectively permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration (which is equivalent to a region of lower solvent concentration) in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides. Therefore,the movement of water molecules from a region of higher water concentration to a region of lower water concentration through a semipermeable membrane is the correct definition.
