Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
An imbibant is made of a number of particles separated by fine interstices. During imbibition water passes into the interstices as well as adsorbed over the particles. The process occurs through diffusion (from outside) and capillarity (into the inside of imbibant ).
