Assertion : In osmosis solvent moves through a semipermeable membrane from a place of lower diffusion pressure to a place of higher diffusion pressure.
Reason : It is due to migration of solvent from hypertonic solution to hypotonic solution through a semipermeable membrane.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is correct explanation of Assertions.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not correct explanation of Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true but Reason is false.

D

If both Assertion and Reason are false.

The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that in osmosis, the solvent moves from a place of lower diffusion pressure to a place of higher diffusion pressure. - This statement is incorrect because, in osmosis, the solvent actually moves from a region of higher diffusion pressure to a region of lower diffusion pressure. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason provided states that the migration of the solvent occurs from a hypertonic solution to a hypotonic solution through a semipermeable membrane. - This statement is also incorrect because, in osmosis, the solvent moves from a hypotonic solution (lower solute concentration) to a hypertonic solution (higher solute concentration). 3. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are incorrect, we can conclude that the correct option is that both the assertion and reason are false. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and reason are false. ---
