Answer:

Option (D).

Explanation:

Osmosis may be defined as the movement of the particles from its region of the higher concentration towards its region of the lower concentration. Osmosis is an important for the movement of water molecules.

The peeled piece will gain in water in the purified water because the water will move from its higher concentration to the peeled pieces towards the lower concentration. The apple pieces lose water in salt water because the salt water contains lots of ions and water will move out of the cell.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
