Answer:

D. the process where a selectively permeable membrane allows the movement of water through it

Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from the region of high water potential to the region of low water potential.

It can also be defined as the movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from the region of low solute concentration to the region of high solute concentration.

<em>Hence, osmosis always involves the movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane.</em>

The correct option is D.
