The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Osmosis**: - Osmosis is defined as the movement of water molecules from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. 2. **Identifying Key Characteristics**: - It is essential to note that osmosis specifically involves the diffusion of water, which is a solvent, rather than solutes. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - The options given are diffusion, evaporation, pre-collation, and plosmolysis. - Among these, diffusion is the process that directly relates to the movement of water in osmosis. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since osmosis is fundamentally a type of diffusion (specifically the diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane), the correct answer to the question about the physical phenomenon that occurs in osmosis is **diffusion**.
