Answer:

Option C, It is a barrier with tiny openings that let some, but not all, materials pass through

Explanation:

A semipermeable membrane is a biological membrane that allows some substances to pass through it. Such type of membranes are also referred as selectively permeable membrane as they do not allow all substances to pass through it non-distinctively.

For example the cell membrane , wall of arteries, wall of intestine etc.  are semipermeable membrane.

Hence, option C is correct.

Which of these is a part of good dental hygiene?
natka813 [3]

They can also recommend when dental surgery is necessary, for instance, if you have extra teeth that can be removed or when your wisdom teeth are coming in. Hope this helps! :)
