Do you have a guess which it is? Or which it isn't - process of elimination is a good way to approach questions like this too.

Answer 3

You're close. They do enter the cell against their concentration gradient, but osmosis is a special kind of diffusion. The only molecules which can osmose (not a word, but you get it right) are water molecules. Nutrients are ordinary molecules, which just diffuse. That is an enormous hint.
