Answer:

Option a. Only from Sac A to the beaker is correct.

Explanation:

As beaker contains glucose which is a monosaccharide and Sac A also have glucose in it, So, therefore glucose from sac A will move into beaker through the process of OSMOSIS.

Sac A (15% glucose) is less concentrated as compared to beaker (45% glucose) therefore this phenomenon will occur. (See attached image for more detailed and graphical explanation)
