The correct answer is: B.It does not require energy to move water molecules.

Here's why:

Osmosis is a type of passive transport because it does not require the cell to use any energy (ATP). Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane, from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. This movement occurs naturally due to the concentration gradient of water, without the need for energy input.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A.It requires energy to move water molecules: This is incorrect. Osmosis is a passive process and does not require energy (ATP) to occur.
