<h2>The correct answer is: d).</h2>

Explanation:

  • Active transport can be defined as the process by which molecules are transported from a region where the concentration of the molecules is low to a region where the concentration of molecule is high across a selectively permeable membrane.
  • Here, the molecules are transported up or opposite to their concentration gradient and so the process requires the expenditure of energy in the form of ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate.
  • In the given question, it is said that the concentration of a polar molecule is high inside the cell initially.
  • But still with time the concentration of the polar molecule continues to increase inside the cell.
  • This is accompanied by the expenditure of energy in the form of ATP as concentration of ATP inside the cell is found to drop gradually.
  • Hence, the given hypothesis describes the process of an Active Transport.
