Osmosis will occur in the 35% sugar solution's direction.

<h3>What is osmosis?</h3>

It is the movement of water molecules from the region of high water potential to the region of low water potential through a selectively permeable membrae.

Solutions with high solute concentrations have low water potentials while those with low solutes have high water potentials.

Thus, water molecules will move from a 15% sugar solution to a 35% sugar solution if both are separated by a permeable membrane.
