Biology

The correct answer is C.active transport.

Active transport relies on carrier proteins (also called pumps) to move particles against their concentration gradient, requiring energy (typically in the form of ATP). If there is a disorder that causes damage to these carrier proteins, the active transport process would be impaired, as these proteins are essential for the movement of substances like ions, glucose, and amino acids across the plasma membrane.

Here's a breakdown of the other options:

A.Osmosis: This is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane, and it doesn't require carrier proteins. It is driven by concentration gradients of water and solutes, so it's not directly affected by carrier protein damage.
