I defined all the answer choices for you and I hope it helps you. The answer I recommend would be B.

A: Osmosis is the movement of water or other solvent through a plasma membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration. Osmosis is passive transport, meaning it does not require energy to be applied.

B: Example of Simple Diffusion. In the cell, examples of molecules that can use simple diffusion to travel in and out of the cell membrane are water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, ethanol and urea. They pass directly through the cell membrane without energy along the concentration gradient

C: A process in which cell takes in materials from the outside by engulfing and fusing them with its plasma membrane. Supplement. Most of the extracellular materials that the cells absorb are large polar molecules (e.g. proteins and hormones) that cannot pass through the hydrophobic plasma membrane by simple diffusion.

D: During active transport, a protein pump uses energy, in the form of ATP, to move molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. An example of active transport is the sodium-potassium pump, which moves sodium ions to the outside of the cell and potassium ions to the inside of the cell.
