Hai Sweet Friend, @sethe753375 WelcoMe To OpeN studY !! It so simple, so what option do u think is right ? no matter it is right or wrong !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

none of the above is what im thinking just need to be sure @Koikkara

Well, can i know whats the reason ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait never mind it would be A because it would absorb the water since it is osmosis.
