Answer: The correct answer is: C The are the same except osmosis specifically and only involves water.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the process in which a solvent moves across a semipermeable membrane in order to dilute a concentrated solution and it ends up equalizing the concentration of the solution at both sides of the cell membrane.

On the other hand, diffusion occurs when particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration and it ends up equalizing the concentration.

So the main difference is the presence/ Lack of water in the processes.

In conclusion the correct answer is : C.
